The second senior brother's smile did not diminish, and there was no flaw in the sincerity on his face. He thoughtfully set up a step for Xu Xiuyuan: "I think Moo Erlang has been having a hard time in Yumen these years, so he suddenly lost his temper.
Because of his original intention, he does not distinguish between good and evil, so he slanders Elder Xu."
Hearing what the second senior brother said, Xu Xiuyuan raised his sleeves to cover his face and let out a long sigh: "To be honest, senior brother Guannan, I did take the two brothers from the Tao family away from the Li family.
However, the reason why I took them away was not because I wanted them to take them away, but because I accidentally bumped into him on a hilltop in Yumen when I was sending Brother Zhixing back to Li's house.
At that time, they were crying bitterly, and Tao Erlang's face was full of despair, muttering that he might as well die. I couldn't bear it for a while, so I took them back to Zengcheng."
The second senior brother nodded and praised: "Elder Xu certainly has a kind heart."
Xu Xiuyuan smiled and waved his hands: "Senior Brother Guannan is overly praised. I just remembered the prosperity of the Tao family in the past and saw how pitiful they were, so I felt a little compassion."
After saying that, he let out another long sigh.
"Shortly after I brought the Tao brothers back to Zengcheng, rumors about Taoyao began to spread. When I ordered the Xu family to investigate carefully, the two Tao brothers took the initiative to look for me and told me about the Tao family's old affairs.
I can't believe these words, but their words are true, and they and Taoyao are close relatives by blood. If what they say is false, then why would they, as close relatives, do this?
I can’t figure it out, so I inevitably have a little doubt.”
The second senior brother nodded again: "Elder Xu is right, no matter who the two Tao family brothers said these words to, everyone will be suspicious."
Xu Xiuyuan's expression gradually became clear because of the long steps laid for him by the second senior brother. He slightly raised his hand and cupped it towards the second senior brother: "They all say that senior brother Guannan is the reincarnation of Zhuge. I am honest and don't deceive you."
The few words exchanged between the two old foxes were like the flames of war that had been exchanged between the two old foxes. Only a few words were left behind.
It's funny to think about it. In the confrontation between the human world and Kunlun, until now, except for the unlucky guy Taojia Erlang who was struck to death by lightning, no one has been harmed too much.
The second senior brother looked back and said to Tao Yao, who was still standing on the chair: "Little junior sister, no matter what, the Tao family is a family of immortal cultivators. The Tao family has thousands of lives. It is definitely not enough for you to say that they deserve to die." qδ
Tao Yao nodded obediently, then jumped off the chair and assumed the pose of a clear breeze and bright moon again.
The second senior brother not only paved the steps for the Xu family, but also paved the steps for her. As long as she can get down the steps well, this crisis may be over.
Tao Yao, who understood in her heart, began to excuse herself obediently: "More than fifty years ago, I was set up by the head of the Tao family to commit the crime of stealing prohibited items. To avoid disaster, I fled Jimo and went to Kunlun.
Fortunately, God showed mercy and allowed me to be favored by Master and became a disciple of the Supreme Immortal.
Soon, Tao Erlang suddenly came to Kunlun and said that my father was beaten to death by the patriarch because of me, and my mother and eldest brother were imprisoned and were about to be executed.
Tao Erlang said that all the troubles in the family were caused by me alone. If I didn't go home to save my mother and brother, I would be disloyal and unfilial. I had no choice but to agree to go home.
Before leaving the mountain, Mr. Cen calculated that my trip to Taojia would be unlucky, so he ordered Junior Brother Lu to accompany me. As expected, my trip to Taojia would be troubled. If not for Master's foresight, I might not have been able to reach Taojia.
Halfway through, we met the demon princess. Out of respect for Master, Elder Tao Qi promised not to attack me until the facts were clear, so Junior Brother Lu and I arrived at Tao's house smoothly."
Lu Li nodded heavily: "Yes, everything is just as Senior Sister Tao said."
Taoyao smiled and continued: "When I was about to return to the Tao family, I made it clear about the theft of forbidden items. The clan leader soon realized that there was something hidden in it, so the Tao family quickly released her mother and brother.
Because my mother and brother were severely tortured and unable to move, Junior Brother Lu and I temporarily stayed at Tao's house. At that time, I realized that there was something unusual in our home, and the elders even prohibited me from moving around at will.
But I have always been a naughty person, not to mention who can't walk around freely in his own home?
The elder didn't allow me to move, so I wanted to find out why. It only took one day
, Junior Brother Lu and I discovered that the Tao family was secretly doing a heinous thing."
The second senior brother hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"
"The Tao family has a forbidden area, and the fox demon clan is imprisoned in the forbidden area. The disciples of the Tao family are allowed to enter and leave the forbidden area every day, and use the fox monsters as weapons to improve their cultivation. Only with the strength of the Tao family can they approach the Li family.
But the ambitions of the Tao family go far beyond that.
Everyone knows that a thousand years ago, all the great demons were disemboweled by the joint efforts of gods and humans. It is believed that there is no great demon left in Qiye Continent.
But the Tao family actually imprisoned Fanyin, one of the four confidants of the demon king, deep in the forbidden area. The reason why the Tao family leader imprisoned Fanyin was to turn Fanyin into his spiritual pet, so that he could become the pinnacle of the entire Qiye continent.
exist."
Having said this, Taoyao's eyes moved slightly and her gaze fell on Xu Xiuyuan: "Elder Xu, you are very knowledgeable. In your opinion, what will be the consequences if Chief Tao Yao can really convince Fanyin to form a contract?"
Xu Xiuyuan was slightly surprised when he was called, but did not refuse to answer: "Forging a contract between a cultivator and a demon is another way to quickly improve your cultivation.
However, the level of cultivation of a cultivator determines what kind of demon he can form a contract with.
If a cultivator is greedy enough and forcibly forms a contract with a spiritual pet that is much higher than himself, he will either be controlled by the spiritual pet, or his body will explode and die. There is no other possibility."
Taoyao nodded and asked again: "So once Patriarch Tao successfully forms a contract with Fanyin, what kind of outcome will he face?"
Xu Xiuyuan looked at Tao Yao, with approval rising in his eyes, but this approval was lofty: "With the power of the great demon Sanskrit, there is only one result, the Tao clan leader loses his consciousness."
"That's right!" Taoyao nodded heavily and responded loudly, "As Elder Xu said, if the Tao clan leader is allowed to form a contract with Fanyin, I'm afraid the entire Tao family will fall into the hands of the big demon.
As a disciple of Kunlun, under the Immortal Seat, I know that the Tao family is committing crimes that should not be punished. Do I have to turn a blind eye just because my surname is Tao?"
"Of course not!" Behind him, the senior brother said in a deep voice, "Kunlun is the Kunlun of the human world. The only mission of its existence is to protect the people of the world and the righteous way of the world!"
The senior brother's words made Tao Yao's eyes turn red. She suppressed her tears and bowed to the senior brother: "It is all because of Kunlun's good teaching that this disciple can have such enlightenment."
Behind me, Mr. Cen raised his sleeves and wiped away tears, and said with infinite emotion: "I remember that when you came to Kunlun, you were really naughty. But in just a few decades, you have changed from what you used to be. As the director of the school, I am very sad.
Glad."
Tao Yao bowed to Master Cen and said, "Master, I praise you so much that I, my disciple, cannot live up to it."
After saying this, Taoyao turned around again and faced Xu Xiuyuan and the others: "Fifty years ago, when I committed the crime of deceiving my master and destroying our ancestors for the sake of human righteousness, I never thought of hiding it, so I told the Lord of Jimo City the truth.
However, at that time, the city lord was also full of righteousness. He felt that although what I did could not escape the suspicion of cruelty, it was for Jimo and for the world to bear the sins. Therefore, he voluntarily stayed in Taojia to deal with me.
.”
Having said this, Taoyao looked at the City Lord: "Really, Lord City Lord?"
"..." The city lord could not answer, and secretly glanced at Xu Xiuyuan again. However, Xu Xiuyuan's eyes were level, as if he had not noticed the city lord's inquiry.
He didn't answer, but Tao Yao asked: "City Lord, when the Tao family was destroyed, a warning was issued, and the five major immortal cultivating families rushed to Jimo. If the city lord thought I was guilty at the beginning, why didn't he tell the five major immortal cultivating families at that time?
The truth, but it has to be revealed today, fifty years later?"
"Old man..." The city lord lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment. Then, he raised his eyes and opened his mouth to explain, but before the words came out, he suddenly slipped and fell.
Seeing the former Jimo City Lord fall to the ground, his body twitching, the Xu family member frowned slightly and ordered someone to carry the City Lord who had lost his fighting ability.
In the second round of confrontation between Renjian and Kunlun, Kunlun won without any danger.
However, victory is not beautiful enough.
Tao Yao raised his hand, bowed in salute to the millions of people gathered in a circle, and then said loudly: "As a disciple of Kunlun, I have no shame in killing the entire Tao family.
But as a descendant of the Tao family, harming Tao
My whole family is exterminated, and I feel uneasy. After today, I will go to Jimo, kneel in front of the Tao family's ancestral grave, and kowtow for three days as a confession."
Then, Taoyao retreated silently, her face gloomy, unable to hide her grief.
The second senior brother sighed lightly and walked to Tao Yao's side. He stretched out his hand to touch her heart: "Little junior sister, the blame for this matter should not be entirely yours. After all, you were only so young at the time. How could you bear the responsibility of all the people in the world?
It is a very remarkable act for you to cut off the fetters of family ties for the sake of justice. I think this is also the reason why the former immortal knew the truth but was unwilling to criticize you harshly."
Taoyao burst into tears.
"Little junior sister, Kunlun is proud to have a disciple like you." After that, the second senior brother pointed behind the senior brother, "Go, go back and stand with your junior brothers and sisters."
"Yes." Tao Yao retreated.
Lu Li quietly leaned to Tao Yao's side. Seeing that her face was full of tears, he took out a plain handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Senior Sister Tao, please don't feel too uncomfortable."
Taoyao smiled and shook her head: "Junior brother Lu is worried."
Lu Li smiled lightly: "Senior Sister Tao, don't worry, no matter what, I believe in you."
"……Um."
Returning to Master Cen's side, Tao Yao breathed out a breath without leaving a trace. She hadn't acted in many years, and now that she was acting again, she really felt a little tired.
Master Cen secretly gave Taoyao a thumbs-up gesture: "As expected of my little Taoist friend, even though he has a big mouth, he is more eloquent than others."
Tao Yao secretly raised her eyebrows: "Master, are you praising me?"
"Whether I am or not is not important. What is important is that they are praising you." Master Cen smiled and pointed at the 30,000 Kunlun disciples behind him with proud expressions.
Tao Yao sighed, her heart was true and she performed the performance with great emotion.
At this time, the second senior brother standing at the front smiled and raised his hand to Xu Xiuyuan: "Elder Xu, whether it was the two brothers from the Tao family who slandered the junior sister as a demon, or the former Jimo City Lord who accused the junior sister of bullying the master and destroying the ancestors, the junior sister has never
Avoid it, and tell the whole story clearly and clearly."
The second senior brother wanted Xu Xiuyuan to give an explanation, but Xu Xiuyuan remained silent. This chapter has been completed!
