Muzhi's ears were buzzing, as if he had lost the ability to understand other people's words: "You, what are you talking about? I'm not deceived..."

Lu Shanyue misinterpreted the words of denial, and comforted softly: "Xiao Muzhi, don't be afraid, you have been wronged like this, and my brother and I will make decisions for you."

After living in Changming Peak for so long, Mu Zhi is still not good at using human words.

He didn't understand, it was clearly Lu Shanyue who framed him for stealing things, why did Uncle Xianhe get involved in the end?

Mu Zhi knew that he couldn't say no to Lu Shanyue no matter what, so he could only say: "Uncle Xianhe is not a thief! He didn't steal anything!"

Lu Shanyue: "Xiao Muzhi, I also want to believe you, but... the evidence is solid."

unambiguous evidence.

These four characters are so heavy that they can make a deep hole when they fall on the ground.

Not to mention, Mu Zhi couldn't explain everything in front of him.

Lu Shanyue lost the star stone.

The star stone was picked up by the crane and appeared in the bird's nest.

These are the facts before us.

Mu Zhi could only stick to his point of view, and said stubbornly: "Maybe...you just forgot where you left it, and Uncle Xianhe picked it up!"

Lu Shanyue laughed, and slowly told the origin of the star stone: "I have been weak since I was a child, and I have the disease of leaving the soul. In order to save my life, my brother went to the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea to ask for a star stone. It is so precious, I usually don't know it. It is worn close to the body, and it is too late to take good care of it, so how can you throw it around?"

The star stone rotates slowly in mid-air, and the streamer refracts like daytime.Even people who don't understand it can tell at a glance that this is a sword treasure, and it is impossible to throw it on the ground and let others pick it up.

The evidence was firmly in front of him, making Mu Zhi's persistence pale and powerless.

Mu Zhi's heart was stuffy, and he was a little out of breath.

Lu Shanyue's voice was like a dense net, trapping him in it, with nowhere to escape.The final result of waiting for him is to serve mermaid meat on the chopping board.

He was in a trance for a moment, and finally thought of how to break through the current situation.

Immortal...

By the way, Xianzun can help him.

Mu Zhi went to the doctor in a hurry, and grabbed Gu Lingyun by the corner of his clothes: "Xianzun, Uncle Xianhe will definitely not steal things, can you use the one, that one just now..." He spoke eagerly, somewhat incoherently, " Then use that method to prove Uncle Xianhe's innocence?"

Gu Lingyun's lips were a little pale, and they parted slightly, filling the gap in Mu Zhi's words: "Time goes back."

Mu Zhi nodded vigorously: "Yes, it's going back in time!"

Gu Lingyun said lightly: "It doesn't work."

Mu Zhi's eyes widened, and his tone was a little excited: "Why can't it be used?"

Lu Shanyue helped to explain very considerately: "Reversal of time is an ancient method, which consumes a lot of spiritual power. Even a senior brother can only use it once in a short period of time."

Mu Zhi understood, and after hesitating for a moment, he stammered and said, "Well, wait for a while, can't you?"

Lu Shanyue's expression was pitiful: "Xiao Muzhi, now the evidence is in front of you, and there is no way to refute it in black and white. Why do you need to let the senior brother waste his spiritual energy for a beast that has made a mistake?" He joked, "If you are willing, I will I'm still not willing."

Mu Zhi ignored Lu Shanyue, wanting to see Gu Lingyun's statement.

Gu Lingyun's expression was light, although he said it outright, it showed that he agreed with what Lu Shanyue said.

He can prove Muzhi's innocence.

But it's just a crane, not worthy of such labor.Not to mention, it is now a certainty, so there is no need to say more.

Lu Shanyue said lightly: "Xiao Muzhi, you are young and innocent, and you can be easily deceived." He paused, with a little contempt, "Besides, what friend? It's just a hairy beast."

Mu Zhi's eyes were red, and he said loudly, "You are not allowed to say that about Uncle Xianhe!"

Lu Shanyue seemed to be frightened, so she stopped talking and didn't add any more details.

Mu Zhi refused to compromise on this, and said stubbornly: "Uncle Xianhe is very important to me, he is my friend. Xianzun, can you help me..."

Gu Lingyun's eyes gradually turned cold: "Mu Zhi."

Mu Zhi was startled for a moment, then slowly raised his head, with hope on his face.

Gu Lingyun's voice was very soft, but it was enough to crush this hope, he said: "Enough."

Mu Zhi seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, shivering in the night wind, and said blankly: "...What is enough?"

Gu Lingyun said: "Lu Shanyue is right."

Lu Shanyue was right.

So, who is at fault?

Gu Lingyun's voice was mixed with the wind, and it was not very real: "Mu Zhi, remember your identity, you shouldn't be so frivolous..."

Mu Zhi stood there blankly.

He was not frivolous, nor presumptuous.

Ever since he came to Changming Peak, he seems to have been doing wrong things.But he didn't do anything.

Mu Zhi cautiously wanted to find a real answer: "Xianzun, did I do something wrong?"

Gu Lingyun said: "Mu Zhi, you shouldn't be like this."

Mu Zhi couldn't understand.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, Lu Shanyue will always help explain the deep meaning: "You shouldn't be willing to degenerate and hang out with a beast. Also, you shouldn't..."

Mu Zhi couldn't hear what he said next, he seemed to be stepping on a cloud, with an unreal feeling of suspension, and the next moment he would fall from the cloud into the abyss.

Lu Shanyue saw that Muzhi's condition was not good, so the smile on his face became more real, and he turned his head to persuade him: "Brother, don't blame Xiao Muzhi like that, after all, he is young and easy to be deceived. Besides Oh, it's someone else's vicious thoughts that led to Xiao Muzhi being ruined."

He seemed to be thinking about Mu Zhi, "Just deal with the other ones, and teach the rest slowly."

Gu Lingyun's expression was indifferent, and he nodded slightly.

Mu Zhi was dazed and in a daze, as if he couldn't hear what other people said at all, so he murmured: "It's really not Uncle Xianhe who stole it, no..."

Lu Shanyue sighed lightly: "Xiao Muzhi, I also want to believe you, but—the evidence is solid." He changed the topic, "However, the star stone has been recovered safely, and it's not a big deal. If you and I don't tell, it's okay not to pursue it."

Mu Zhi is like a drowning man, desperately grabbing the last straw.He really believed what Lu Shanyue said, and stretched out his hand to grab Gu Lingyun: "Immortal Venerable..."

His little face was pale, the corners of his lips were blue from the cold, and he was still pleading.

Seeing this scene, Gu Lingyun frowned.

For a crane, he made himself into this appearance.

He didn't stay at Changming Peak often, and he didn't know that Mu Zhi was hanging out with a crane all day long.

Crane, although there is a word "immortal" in its name, it is a domesticated poultry after all, and it is used by new disciples as a substitute for transportation.

And Mu Zhi will become the master of Changming Peak in the future, and if he acts like this, it is not known how outsiders will discuss it.

Gu Lingyun felt unhappy, and opened Mu Zhi's fingers one by one, and said indifferently: "Since you made a mistake, just act according to the sect's rules."

Mu Zhi's body swayed, and the last bit of starlight in his eyes dimmed.

Lu Shanyue pretended to be kind and said: "Brother, it's just a trivial matter, just turn a blind eye and close one eye."

Gu Lingyun's eyebrows were stern, and there was a chill in his words: "If you can't move your hands, you can hand it over to the Discipline Hall."

Lu Shanyue had no choice but to go along with the flow, and complied: "This crane is raised by Buluofeng, so I won't bother Discipline Hall to do it."

In a few words, the matter was settled, and the fate of a crane was decided.

Lu Shanyue got the order and was about to leave when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Mu Zhi who was in a daze, and said softly: "Senior Brother, Xiao Mu Zhi's body is weak, why don't you let him go back to rest first."

Muzhi was numb and didn't respond.

Gu Lingyun glanced lightly: "No need."

Lu Shanyue: "Then..."

Gu Lingyun said almost coldly: "Let him go and have a look, as a warning to others, so as not to make the same mistake in the future."

Like a marionette, Mu Zhi was taken out of Changming Peak.

The venue for the execution trial is Buluo Peak.

The clouds and mist here are misty and the mountains are beautiful. Walking up the winding path, you can see a half-person-high stone monument standing tall.

The word "Buluo" is engraved on the stone tablet, with an iron pen and silver hook, and you can feel a sharp sword intent when you get close.

On the top of Buluo Peak, a group of disciples surrounded the high platform, whispering.

"What the hell happened?"

"I heard that this beast stole Elder Lu's belongings and is about to be punished. According to me, it's just a beast. It's just a beast, and we're still here."

"The laws of the sect are for disciples, and it doesn't matter whether this beast is worthy or not."

When Mu Zhi came, all he saw were gloating faces.

Lu Shanyue explained in a warm voice: "These are new disciples, I just want them to see what happens to those who make mistakes, so they should keep their spirits up and don't make mistakes."

Gu Lingyun didn't say a word.

Lu Shanyue smiled softly: "However, Buluofeng has raised many cranes, and I don't know which one made a mistake. Mu Zhi, why don't you take a look, is it this one?"

The disciples gave way one after another, so that Mu Zhi could clearly see the scene on the stage.

On the high platform, the crane was dying, lying on it.

On the side, an exquisite bird's nest was thrown on the ground, like a piece of junk, anyone could step on it.

Xian He turned his head with difficulty, and met Mu Zhi's eyes in the crowd.

It can't speak, but its eyes are gentle and inclusive, and it gently shakes its head at Mu Zhi.

do not come.

nothing.

With tears in his eyes, Mu Zhi wanted to rush to the high platform to rescue his Uncle Xianhe.

But before he took a step, a hand gently placed on his shoulder, making him freeze in place and unable to move.

Gu Lingyun stood behind him and said, "Mu Zhi, be obedient."

Mu Zhi's face was pale, and he couldn't stop trembling.

He has always been obedient.

But what is the price of obedience?What is the result?

does it worth?

Everything in Mu Zhi's sight quietly faded away, only Lu Shanyue's voice was piercing and obvious: "According to the sect's law, anyone who steals, regardless of value or not, shall—" He deliberately paused, like It was for Mu Zhi, "Cut off one hand."

The voice fell.

A soft aura fell straight down from midair.

The aura was invisible and soft, but when it landed on the crane, it cut off one wing like a blade.

The crane let out a miserable cry, and its blood-stained feathers flew all over the sky.

Mu Zhi's vision blurred, he wanted to stop all this, but Gu Lingyun's hand was on his shoulder like a mountain, preventing him from moving.

Mu Zhi's lips moved, making a silent plea.

No.

Don't... Uncle Xianhe is not a thief, no.

Feathers fluttered, looking at it from a distance, I thought it was snowing heavily on Buluo Peak.

The crane struggled to stand up, but because it lost one wing, it couldn't maintain its balance, so it could only fall heavily in a pool of blood.

It let out a low whine, and kept looking at Mu Zhi.Tender and sad.

Mu Zhi's heart was cut like a knife, but he was powerless to stop the scene in front of him, and tears rolled down his cheeks silently.

He thought it was over, but he didn't expect Lu Shanyue to say slowly: "Also, thirty lashes."

The aura turned into a whip, and it flew across the air, making a piercing sound.

Snapped!

The whip slammed on the crane's body, leaving a mottled mark.

The crane's wings twitched and lost its movement. If it wasn't for the rising and falling of its chest, it would have been thought that it had lost its breath.

Lu Shan's moon eyes were compassionate, and he lowered his hand: "Or forget it."

Having said that, he actually knew it well.

It has come to this point, no matter what, it is impossible to stop.

Sure enough, Gu Lingyun's tone was cold and firm: "Continue."

Lu Shanyue had no choice but to continue.

Snapped!

clap clap!

Every time a whip fell, Mu Zhi's heart twitched in pain.

The disciples around whispered to each other.

"Why isn't it over yet?"

"It's better to kill him directly."

"Yeah, waste of time..."

These words fell into Mu Zhi's ears.

not like this.

Uncle Xianhe is not a thief.

The one on the high platform was not the insignificant beast they called, but Uncle Crane who would take him out for a drive, comfort him, and hug him tenderly.

Why is this happening?

Mu Zhi looked around and found that there were cruel and ruthless butchers standing around.

These people were smiling, talking disgusting words, wishing to end all this early.

Only Mu Zhi was out of place, like an abrupt intruder, who shouldn't have come to this place.

Mu Zhi's eyes were blood red, and a sense of regret arose in his heart: If this continues, Uncle Xianhe will die.

At the thought of the word "death", a cluster of flames ignited in Mu Zhi's heart, and a burst of strength came from nowhere.He broke free from Gu Lingyun's control, flew to the high platform, and blocked the whip that fell from midair.

Lu Shanyue couldn't hold back for a moment, and the whip hit Mu Zhi's body.

Mu Zhi was most afraid of pain.

But now, as if he couldn't feel it, he hugged the bruised crane.

He remembered that Uncle Crane's feathers were soft and warm, with the breath of sunshine.

But now, the body in his arms is cold, losing all warmth.

Mu Zhi half-kneeled on the high platform, hugging the dying crane: "Uncle Xianhe..." A crystal teardrop fell on Xianhe's body and sank into it.

Xianhe seemed to have sensed it, raised his head with difficulty, and rubbed Mu Zhi's cheek, as if to tell him not to be sad.

How could Ke Muzhi not be sad?

His tears could not be stopped: "I'm sorry, Uncle Xianhe, it's all my fault, I hurt you..."

After this episode happened, the punishment could no longer continue.

The disciples whispered to each other, discussing the accident and Mu Zhi who suddenly appeared here.

"This is... the Taoist companion of the Immortal Master Changming?"

"I heard that it is also a demon clan."

"No wonder, the two demons cherish each other, don't they?"

Gu Lingyun listened to the sound of the conversation, lowered his gaze, and said, "Mu Zhi, come down."

Mu Zhi ignored it, lowered his head, hugging the crane, unwilling to let go.

Lu Shanyue wondered: "Xiao Muzhi, I don't know that you are unhappy, but you will be punished if you do something wrong. Who let this beast steal something?"

Mu Zhi raised his head and said hoarsely, "Uncle Xianhe didn't steal it!"

Lu Shanyue raised his foot and walked, trampling a feather on the sole of his foot, with a gentle and compassionate voice: "If it's not this beast, then who is it?"

Mu Zhi has never been smart.

He doesn't know the complexity of people's hearts, and he doesn't know all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. He is innocent and sincere, and he can even be said to be a little stupid.

But this time, he was finally smart once.

If the person who stole the star stone can not be found, Uncle Xianhe will die.

Mu Zhi described the situation as embarrassing, like a cuckoo crying blood, and gave the answer: "It's me, I stole it!"

He admitted it.
