Fairy cage

In addition to the two iron statues possessed by Jiaomu Jiao and Doumu Xie, the other iron statues in the hall also shone with a faint light.

For example, Yu Lie's immediate boss, who is located in the west, has a huge wolf head, and his two eyes instantly turn green and come to life.

Obviously, the eldest brother and second brother were not the only Taoist priests who came to this hall, there were also many other Taoist priests. It's just that these Taoist priests looked at the scene silently and didn't make a sound.

A cold snort rang out, and the iron statue possessed by the horned wood dragon rose up with overwhelming pressure, pressing towards the wooden dragon.

Yu Lie and other Taoist officials fell under such pressure, and their faces changed slightly, and there was a permeating feeling in their hearts. Many of them were even familiar with the inspections, and they were shaken on the spot.

Light laughter rang out, and the second senior brother seemed to be explaining something to Yu Lie and others:

"Senior Brother, why does it seem like he is about to lose his temper? Look, you didn't want to scare, but instead frightened these little guys. If you are really frightened to death, and something bad happens, Pindao can't I have to tell my senior brother whether he wants to kill someone and silence him."

As soon as these words fell into the ears of Yu Lie and others, others had no reaction, but a coldness flashed in Yu Lie's eyes.

Obviously, Taoist Priest Doumuxie's words meant that the work report later would not be easy. When the other party sees that Yu Lie and Gui Yeluo have returned safely, but Shi Renyu is missing outside, they will definitely intimidate Yu Lie and his party and press for the truth.

Yu Lie's thoughts swirled in his mind, suppressing the waves in his heart.

He thought to himself: "There is no proof, and there is no evidence. This is just trying to scare me. Unless I confess and expose the truth, I will go to jail..."

With a plan in mind, I watched the two Taoist priests shouting and shouting in the hall.

Buzz!

Jiaomu Jiao and Doumu Xie were chatting, and their spirits were confronting each other in the hall. The result was clearly evenly matched, and neither of them got a better result.

After talking to each other for a long time, the second senior brother Doumu Xie still shouted impatiently: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly. If you don't have anything to say, why don't you and I interrogate these Taoist officials now to avoid wasting time anymore?" .”

Senior Brother Jiaomu Jiao was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke out:

"Why use the word 'trial'? Today is just a report of work, starting from the beginning, junior brother."

The head of the iron statue possessed by the second senior brother immediately turned and stared at the rest of the group. Its spiritual consciousness was cold and hovered above everyone's heads, as if a sword was hanging, giving everyone a feeling of heart palpitations.

After the episode just now, Gui Yeluo and the others, who had no guilt in their hearts, became uneasy and their eyes were filled with fear.

They stood in the field one by one, lowering their heads.

Suddenly, Doumu Xie casually looked at a Taoist official and ordered:

"You, come forward and ask me alone!"

The Taoist happened to be from Yu Lie and Gui Yeluo's side, and he immediately attracted their attention.

The Taoist swallowed his throat, walked out in a hurry, and held his hands towards the other party: "Yes, I will obey the Taoist Priest's instructions."

This person walked up to Doumu Xie, and then he saw Doumu Xie suddenly lower his head, and the single horn on the top of it grew strangely, then curved and fell, becoming more and more slender, and finally resembled a human fingernail. Usually, it was tapped on the forehead of the Taoist priest.

The words rang out:

"If I ask a question, you can answer it with your spiritual consciousness. No one else will know. However, I would like to remind you in advance that if you deceive me, you will be guilty of deceiving your superiors!"

The Taoist priest immediately shouted: "Yes!"

When Yu Lie saw this scene, there was a hint of trouble in his eyes.

He recalled the information about his second senior brother that he had learned in Baichao in the past year and a half, and found that this wolf was almost the chief steward of Baichao. Although he did not show his face very often, whenever there were major disputes in the nest, he would report them to the other party. Deal with it immediately.

Moreover, the efficiency of this animal's treatment is extremely high. There are rumors in Baichao that this animal has the ability to see through people's hearts.

Yu Lie originally thought that such rumors were just rumors. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and everyone has Taoist treasures to protect their minds. Even if Doumu Xie is a Jindan Taoist, he should not have this ability.

"But now it seems that this animal puts its horn on the head of others to ask questions. Its behavior is very similar to the ancient beast rumored in Taoist books - the animal! This animal is in the white nest. The Taoist name also happens to correspond to the word Dou Mu Xie..." Yu Lie thought to himself.

Dou Mu Xie is the name of the twenty-eight constellations, located at the top of the seven constellations in the north. The Xie is an animal that can tell the difference between right and wrong. When it sees someone fighting, it will use its horns to "touch the person who is not straight"; when it hears someone fighting, it will "touch the person who is not straight".

The second senior brother's questioning behavior was exactly similar to what was written in the book.

While Yu Lie was thinking about it, the second senior brother touched the Taoist's forehead with his horn. For only seven or eight breaths, he moved away and ordered the other person to retreat. The speed was really fast.

The Taoist official who was questioned hurriedly handed over his hands and walked back to the crowd.

As soon as he came back, someone secretly sent him a message using his spiritual consciousness, trying to find out what he had asked. But the official seemed to have received the order from the second senior brother. He just looked embarrassed and lowered his head without saying a word.

Immediately afterwards, another Taoist official was called out for questioning by the second senior brother.

The other party seemed to be chosen randomly. There were Taoist officials under Gui Yeluo, as well as Taoist officials named Shi Renyu and Zhu.

Fortunately, there was still no big noise in the other party's questioning. The Taoist being questioned all retreated as if relieved. It seemed that the other party's question was not stressful at all.

Yu Lie fell into the crowd. When someone in front of him was called for questioning, he immediately cheered up and prepared to walk out.

But the next one, the second senior brother Doumu Xie suddenly swayed and sent people from other directions, skipping the remaining columns.

Not long after, even Gui Yeluo stepped forward, was questioned by Doumu Xie, and successfully retreated.

When Yu Lie saw it, his consciousness immediately moved to ask Gui Yeluo what the Dou Mu Xie had asked and what his intention was.

As a result, as soon as his consciousness came out, he froze in the middle of the road, because the Dou Mu Xie's eyes happened to be fixed on him. He suppressed his consciousness and said faintly:

"come here."

Yu Lie could sense that he was surrounded by a pressure. Even with his divine consciousness that was far beyond ordinary people, if he didn't use the needle of divine consciousness, he would never be able to break the opponent's suppression. But once the needle of divine consciousness is used, it is done in front of everyone, and it is not guilty but also guilty.

He paused and had to give up the idea of ​​asking Gui Yeluo to inquire. He was caught off guard and handed over to the other party: "I follow the Taoist Master's instructions."

Yu Lie walked out of the crowd and passed by Gui Yeluo.

Gui Yeluo originally wanted to tell Yu Lie secretly, but by chance, the next person Taoist Doumuxie questioned was Yu Lie. She could only stop talking and sighed in her heart.

When he stood in front of Taoist Doumuxie, Yu Lie immediately felt the coldness on his forehead, and a chill that penetrated into his soul rose.

This chill was not Yu Lie's imagination, his expression suddenly changed.

Because the Taoist priest Doumu Xie boldly reached out his spiritual consciousness and wanted to get into Yu Lie's head, which was extremely rude and insidious.

Normally, it would be extremely rude for Taoists to glance at each other with their spiritual consciousness, and it could easily lead to conflicts, let alone situations like this where spiritual consciousness enters the brain.

Without even thinking about it, Yu Lie's mind jumped out and blocked the spiritual platform, blocking the opponent's move.

As a result, he immediately felt that the other party's cold consciousness enveloped his whole body, releasing naked coldness.

Light words came from the other party's mouth:

"You are worthy of being an immortal Taoist. He is still courageous in the face of Pindao. If I had seen you earlier, Pindao would have taken you under his command and cultivated you carefully."

What Doumu Xie said was not just for Yu Lie, but for everyone present.

Gui Yeluo and others all raised their heads and looked at Yu Lie in surprise or surprise. From Doumu Xie's sudden change of attitude, they all noticed something was wrong.

The Jiaomu Jiao, Kuimu Lang, and other Taoist priests who were watching coldly all around also had their eyes flashing.

Yu Lie endured the oppression of the other party's consciousness and did not remain silent. Instead, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Taoist Priest is joking. Since this junior has been granted the position of envoy by Taoist Mulangzi, how can he be further cultivated by Taoist Priest?"

He directly carried Taoist Mu Langzi out. As for the senior brother Jiao Mujiao, although he had given him secret orders, they were not familiar with each other after all, so Yu Lie did not carry him out.

Taoist Mulangzi did not disappoint Yu Lie. He had been silent from just now until now. Now that he heard Yu Lie's words, he finally spoke:

"Indeed, the second senior brother is joking. An envoy from a certain family is already rare, why would senior brother want to poach me? Let's let him go."

Doumu Xie just raised his head slightly and took a look at the iron statue possessed by Wood Langzi.

It said: "Oh, really?

In this case, Pindao will now ask this boy carefully to see how loyal he is to you, Wood Wolf Zi. "

When Yu Lie heard this, his eyelids jumped slightly and he shouted in his heart: "Damn it! What on earth does this old guy want to do?"

The next moment, without waiting for others to react, the second senior brother Doumu Xie chuckled and still called Yu Lie with words, instead of asking alone with his spiritual consciousness:

"Come here, Dao'er, who is your surname? Who is your superior?"

Yu Lie hesitated, seeing that this question was normal, so he just used his consciousness to answer the other party.

As Yu Lie expected, this guy didn't just want to ask questions, he was quite malicious. He immediately scolded Yu Lie:

"To put it bluntly, speak louder and don't answer with your spiritual consciousness."

Yu Lie cursed in his heart. Seeing how malicious the other party was, he simply stopped being respectful and said directly:

"Others can use their spiritual consciousness to ask questions alone, so why do I have to answer loudly?"

Doumu Xie smiled and cursed: "They are them, you are you.

You idiot, don’t you understand the rules in the White Nest and you are not allowed to disobey your superiors! If this is the case, Pindao will first punish you for this crime and imprison you for several years. "

The rules within the Inspection Department are strict. Under normal circumstances, superiors can easily cause trouble for subordinates, let alone such fixed work reporting links, which cannot be avoided.

Yu Lie gritted his teeth and could only whisper:

"The junior Yu Lie is under the command of Taoist Master Mulangzi, and Tian is the envoy."

Laughter rang out, and Doumu Xie asked next:

"Since you are headed by Junior Brother Kui Mulang, I would like to ask you, do you have both the head of a rat and spy on Junior Brother Woodlang on the orders of others?"

Hearing this, the most stupid Taoist priest in the palace also reacted and realized that Doumu Xie was targeting Yu Lie today.

When Taoist Mulangzi heard this, his eyes flashed, and he just watched without making a sound.

As for the elder brother Jiaomujiao, he actually scolded Taoist Doumujiao in his heart: "This guy, I knew that he came out of seclusion today because he had no good intentions. I didn't expect that he wanted to provoke him." My relationship with Kuimu Lang."

To the senior brother's ears, Doumu Xie's question almost sounded like he was poking at him by name.

But at the moment, he was wondering why the other party knew about this, and at the same time he was worried about jumping out, which just proved what the other party said.

So senior brother Jiao Mujiao just stared at Yu Lie coldly, wanting to see how Yu Lie was going to answer.

Yu Lie's throat was choked, and he was confused and scolded his mother again. However, the target of his scolding also included the horned wood dragon.

"How good you are, you Jiaomujiao, even such secrets can be known to others. You deserve to be treated as a senior brother, and you have already achieved elixirs, and you deserve to be suppressed by your second brother!"

Yu Lie's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Junior Yu Lie has sworn with his Taoist heart that he has never attempted to murder or betray Taoist Master Mu Langzi."

Although he had accepted the instructions from his senior brother, he had never done anything to disgrace Timber Wolf, and for the past year and a half, he had not left home and had no chance to do it.

In the hall, when Wood Wolf Zi heard Yu Lie's words, the dim light in his eyes flickered again. He seemed to glance at his senior brother inadvertently, and then suddenly swayed.

The Yin God stepped directly out of the iron statue, turned into a Taoist appearance, and laughed at the crowd and said:

"Brothers, by chance, Pindao suddenly remembered that there is a furnace for refining elixirs in the room. If he doesn't go back, I'm afraid the furnace will be burned."

Mu Langzi also handed over to senior brother Jiao Mujiao alone: ​​"There are quite a few disciples here who are under the command of Pindao. I have troubled senior brother to take care of them."

When Senior Brother Jiaomu Jiao heard this, he hesitated with his head, nodded, and said: "Since I have something to do, I'll leave first."

"Goodbye everyone!"

Whoosh, the wooden wolf got a response, and left the hall in a flash, as if his home was really on fire, and left quickly.

Seeing this person leave, both Yu Lie and senior brother Jiao Mujiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Both of them understood that Mu Langzi didn't want to be provoked anymore, so he simply left, which also saved Yu Lie from being asked more offensive words.

When the second senior brother Doumuxie saw this scene, his face was slightly surprised, and then he looked at the senior brother with disdain.

The man said calmly: "Junior Brother Mu, please go slowly and don't see me off."

Just when Yu Lie thought that the atmosphere at the scene had relaxed slightly, the second senior brother Doumu Xie suddenly said:

"Disciple Yu Lie, but you killed your colleague Shi Renyu?!"

Its body swayed, its head lowered, and it looked at Yu Lie coldly. The energy on its body fell violently, making Yu Lie suffocate for a moment, as if he was about to drown.

Yu Lie's heart skipped a beat, he was caught off guard and wanted to refute immediately. But when he opened his mouth, what he said was:

"It's the disciple!"
