"The Linglong Pagoda is in your hands. Shen Luo … the Heavenly Book kept by the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King should also be with you." Before Bull Demon could speak, the long-bearded Taoist spoke first.
As soon as he said that, Huang Mei and the silver-armored man's expressions changed slightly. They both looked at Shen Luo.
"Taoist Yuan?" Shen Luo heard his words and thought for a while before asking tentatively.
The long-bearded Taoist did not deny it. He just sighed faintly and said, "What a pity …"
Shen Luo's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. The unhappiness in his heart continued to rise. He really could not understand why Bull Demon attacked him the moment they met.
If he had not used his Fiery Golden Eyes to confirm his identity, he would have suspected that the Bull Demon in front of him was an imposter.
"Tell me, why did you betray us?" At this moment, Bull Demon finally spoke. His voice was unusually hoarse.
Shen Luo frowned and said angrily, "Betray? When did I betray you? "
"Shen Luo, right? So it's all because of you that everyone is in such a miserable state this time. "The silver-armored man's eyes were filled with anger as he shouted.
"Back then, someone told me that your background was unknown and asked me to be wary of you. I didn't expect that I would still believe you and even give you the Dinghai Pearl. What a joke, what a pity …" Bull Demon stared at Shen Luo with bloodshot eyes.
"What happened when I was not around?" Shen Luo suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked.
"Hmph, don't you know what happened? Weren't you the one who leaked our whereabouts to the Demons? Previously, when Jilei Mountain was attacked, you were not there. This time, when Five Manor was attacked, you were also not there. I'm very curious, what is your identity? "Bull Demon reprimanded coldly.
"I … I just went to Five Elements Mountain to cultivate in seclusion. Otherwise, how do you think my Taiyi cultivation level came about?" Shen Luo stiffened slightly and then explained.
"What's more, every time I fought with the Demons, did I ever do anything sneaky? When had he not fought with all his might? Let's get straight to the point. Back then, it was you who actively promoted me to go to Jilei Mountain, wasn't it? "
"Zhen Yuan Daisen, what does he mean by that?" Faced with Shen Luo's question, Bull Demon also looked at the long-bearded old Daoist.
Zhen Yuan Daisen? Shen Luo knew that he was only slightly surprised, and then he felt relieved.
He already had some guesses about Daoist Yuan's identity.
"Well, there's nothing that can't be said now. We did ask Shen Luo to go to Jilei Mountain to win you over." The long-bearded elder sighed and said.
"We … So, you two are Daoist Lei and Daoist Hua?" Shen Luo hesitated and looked at the silver-armored man and Huang Mei.
The two men did not deny it, and neither of them said anything.
"You guessed right. In fact, we are all here today. Unfortunately … I didn't expect it to be under such circumstances." Zhen Yuan Daisen said slowly.
"That person is actually him?" The silver-armored man looked at Shen Luo, still somewhat in disbelief.
"Everyone … Can I say something?" At this time, Zhong Kui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Daoist Zhong Kui, please speak your mind." Zhen Yuan Daisen nodded.
"Shen Luo … I had a lot of interactions with him a thousand years ago. Although I'm not sure if he has changed, I'm afraid that if it wasn't for his help when I was fighting with the Phantasm Ghost King and the Hanged Ghost on the chain bridge, I'm afraid that I would be in danger today." Zhong Kui said.
"Hmph, how do you know that this isn't his usual trick? When the Jade Fox Clan was in danger, it was also him who helped. Otherwise, with the Fox King's experience, how could he not see through his ambitions? "Bull Demon heard this and snorted coldly.
"You're wrong to say that." At this time, a weak voice came from the black bamboo forest.
Everyone looked in that direction and saw a man with a pale face walking out of the forest.
Shen Luo saw that it was Tsing Lu who walked out and was slightly surprised.
"You people, sigh … In order to come to the Underworld to find you, Senior Shen first went to the mansion of the Black Mountain Demon to steal the map. Later, he was discovered and had no choice but to fight with the Black Mountain and Jiuming. After escaping into the Underworld Labyrinth with great difficulty, he encountered the Kun of the Ruins. Do you know how dangerous the process was? If he really is a traitor, could it be that everything he experienced was an act? But what's the use of acting in front of me? "Tsing Lu could not bear to listen anymore and retorted.
"Whether it's true or not, it's all based on your words. How do we know if it's true or not?" Bull Demon snorted coldly.
It was obvious that the death of Princess Jade Face and Red Boy was a huge blow to him.
"Maybe he's just playing hard to get. Moreover … who knows if you're lying on his behalf?" At this time, the silver-armored man frowned and said.
"Yang Jian, Old Bull, the two of you don't have to rush to a conclusion. Shen Daoyou, if you have a way to prove your innocence, it's better to say it earlier. If you can't … then there's also a way. I have a treasure here called the 'Self-examination Mirror'. If you're willing to bind yourself, we can bring you back to have a try. Are you willing? "Huang Mei suddenly walked forward and asked.
"Self-examination Mirror?"
Not only did Shen Luo frown, but even Zhen Yuan Daisen and the others were surprised.
"Huang Mei, when your master Maitreya Buddha fell, everyone thought that the Self-examination Mirror had fallen into the hands of the Demons. Who would have thought that it was in your hands?" Yang Jian looked at the yellow-robed monk and said.
"Since we have the Self-examination Mirror, we can use it to test him. Shen Daoyou, are you willing?" Zhen Yuan Daisen heard and said.
"What is this Self-examination Mirror? If it's something like searching the memories of the soul, I think it's better to forget about it. Originally, when I came here, I wanted to meet up with all of you. Who would have thought that I would suffer such an injustice the moment I came here. If my memories are still being pried into, then I would rather part ways with all of you. "Shen Luo frowned and flatly refused.
"I'm afraid it's not up to you now. If you can't prove your innocence, you're dreaming if you want to leave here," Yang Jian said in a cold voice.
When Shen Luo heard this, a sullen expression appeared on his face.
"Shen Daoyou, don't worry. The Self-examination Mirror can only detect changes in your state of mind. We will ask some questions and use the mirror's reaction to judge whether it's true or false. It won't and can't search your memories," Zhen Yuan Daisen said.
"If that's the case, you can try it." Shen Luo listened and hesitated for a moment before putting away the Linglong Treasure Pagoda and the Sea Suppressing Iron Staff.
"Just in case, we have to imprison you before that." Yang Jian spoke again.
"Don't push your luck." Shen Luo said angrily.
"If you're innocent, what are you afraid of?" Bull Demon also said.
Shen Luo secretly said in his heart. Naturally, he was afraid of the real traitor who was hiding somewhere.
At this time, a burst of noise came from the valley in the distance. Seven or eight scattered figures appeared and walked quickly towards this place.
