Tonight's moon was especially round.
The moonlight was like a gauze, shining on Qing Mao mountain.
Every time the Treasure Brass Toad leapt, it would cover a distance of a hundred meters. Because it was leaping forward, the steep and narrow mountain path could not restrict or obstruct it.
Jia Fu and the rest sat on the Treasure Brass Toad, leaving the Guyue village and rushing back to the caravan.
The wind whistled in their ears, and their vision shook along with the Treasure Brass Toad's leaps.
The moonlight shone on everyone's faces, and everyone was silent. Jia Fu's expression was as cold as ice.
After a while, one of Jia Fu's confidantes couldn't help but ask, "Master, what should we do? Jia Jin Sheng is dead, how will master explain this to master when he returns? Should we find a scapegoat first … "
Jia Fu shook his head, but ignored him, "Do you know the story of Ren Zu?"
The aide was stunned, not expecting Jia Fu to reply like this. He did not know how to reply at this moment.
Jia Fu continued, "Ren Zu had the Rules and Rules Gu, and captured all the Gu in the world. He gained strength, but lost wisdom. Right now, there were three Gu left in his net. He opened it and saw that these three Gu were Attitude Gu, Belief Gu and Suspicion Gu. Ren Zu was not willing to let them go, so these three Gu could only make a bet with Ren Zu. As long as Ren Zu opened the net, they would split into three directions and escape. Whoever was caught by Ren Zu would be subdued. Tell me, what did Ren Zu catch in the end? "
The aide seemed to understand, and replied, "It was the Attitude Gu!"
"Do you know why?" Jia Fu asked again.
The aide shook his head.
Jia Fu chuckled. "That's because your attitude says it all. Whether father 'believes' or 'suspects', I have already expressed my 'attitude'. When Jia Jin Sheng went missing, I immediately started investigating in the caravan, and once I found any clues, I rushed back to the Guyue village without stopping. In the village, I risked being attacked by the Guyue tribe to confront them. I did not even sit down, and to verify Fang Yuan's words, I even used the Rank four Bamboo Gentleman. "
"After returning to the clan, I will hire the God of Arrest and invite Tie Xue Leng to investigate this matter. Regardless of whether Jia Jin Sheng is dead or alive, as his brother, I have already done what I should do. My attitude has already been made clear! I've already thought it through. I don't need a scapegoat. I'll just go back honestly because I really didn't do it! If he found a scapegoat, he might fall into Jia Gui's trap. If I can find someone to take the blame, he can naturally find someone to reverse the verdict. "
The confidant was secretly surprised, "Master, do you really suspect Young Master Jia Gui?"
"Hmph, who else could have done so well if not him?" Speaking up to this point, Jia Fu's face twisted, and his eyes were about to spit out flames of anger. "Previously, I didn't do that to him because of our brotherhood. I didn't expect him to be so treacherous. Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust! "
What he didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes watching him from afar.
Fang Yuan stood on the hillside and watched quietly.
The moon tonight was beautiful and bright.
The golden full moon hung high in the night sky, illuminating the mountains and earth.
Nearby, the green mountains were lush and the grass was lush. The entire mountain was filled with pine, cypress, and fir trees, as well as the Qing Mao Mountain's unique Qing Mao bamboo. Large patches of dark green water poured down from the top of the mountain and flowed to the foot of the mountain.
The mountains in the distance were continuous, blurring into a dark shadow under the moonlight.
The winding mountain road meandered down like a sheep's intestines. Sometimes it was blocked by the forest, but it continued to stretch out.
Jia Fu and the others rode on the Treasure Brass Toad and advanced along the mountain path. After continuously leaping, his figure was finally covered by the forest.
Although the mountainous terrain did not restrict the Treasure Brass Toad's speed, it was still able to reach the Treasure Brass Toad. But Jia Fu did not dare to recklessly pass through Qing Mao mountain. If he barged into the beast nest, even with his Rank four cultivation, he would still be in a difficult situation. Therefore, following the mountain path was the most appropriate choice.
Not long ago, Fang Yuan had been watching the caravan leave with an umbrella on this hillside. Now, he was standing here again, watching Jia Fu leave.
"The trouble of killing Jia Jin Sheng has finally been solved." His eyes were deep, and his heart was calm and tranquil.
Ever since he killed Jia Jin Sheng that night, he had been thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.
He was very clear that he had no foundation. If the truth was revealed, Guyue's tribe would definitely sacrifice him. But if he kept hiding it, the paper would not cover the fire.
A brilliant lie was a mixture of truth and falsehood. There was truth in the falsehood, and falsehood in the truth.
He had to divert the trouble!
This situation was like a chessboard with two opposing sides. On one side was Jia Fu's caravan, and on the other side was Guyue's tribe's village. In this game, whether it was Guyue Bo, the academy elder, or Jia Fu, they were all chess pieces. Even he, Fang Yuan, was one of the chess pieces.
To protect this chess piece that represented himself, he could only make use of the opposing sides and find an opportunity in the gap.
A few days ago, Fang Yuan had started to plan.
He first used the two guards to put on a good show on the stage set up by the academy elder. He then hid the existence of the Liquor worm to arouse the tribe's curiosity and attract the attention of the higher-ups. At the same time, he asked the academy elder to investigate in secret.
Next, he robbed his classmate to show his impulsiveness, unruliness, and dissatisfaction with the tribe, "showing weakness" to the higher-ups of Guyue.
Then, he calculated the days and waited for Jia Fu.
During the confrontation, he showed his childishness and panic, which invisibly led everyone's thoughts. He let them discover the "truth" themselves.
Finally, he made use of the conflict of interest between Guyue's tribe and Jia Fu to make the academy elder, who had been investigating him, testify for him.
The Bamboo Gentleman was a small accident, but he was still a Rank four. Under the suppression of the Spring Autumn Cicada, the Bamboo Gentleman ironically became the best proof for Fang Yuan.
In the end, not only did Fang Yuan explain the origin of the Liquor worm perfectly, he also pushed the blame to the innocent Jia Gui, while he escaped unscathed.
"The academy elder was left behind. It seems that Guyue Bo wants to interfere with the academy's affairs and cancel the suppression on me. With his style, he does have the magnanimity to do so. But his true goal isn't me, his main motive should be Gu Yue Fangzheng. One of the reasons why I made a big fuss was to cause a commotion and attract the attention of the higher-ups. Even if Guyue Bo does not show up, Guyue Mo Chen and Guyue Lian will make a move to protect their reputation. "
"As for Jia Fu, he should have already determined that Jia Gui is the culprit. The fire of revenge is already burning in his chest. Hehe, I am really looking forward to it. After my interference, the fight between these two brothers will immediately escalate. I wonder if the Gu Fighting Tournament will be brought forward? "
"Right, there is also that Divine Investigator Tie Xue Leng. Tie Xue Leng … hmph. " Fang Yuan muttered these two words in his mouth. After a while, he smiled lightly, "In the righteous path, this person is quite a character. It is a pity that he is very busy with work. It will not be easy to invite him just because of this matter. If Jia Fu wants to make his stance clear, he will definitely invite him. However, it is hard to say when, it will be at least two to three years later. "
In two to three years, he would be at Rank two or even Rank three. At that time, his life would be a whole new world.
The night wind blew, and the fresh mountain air was fragrant.
Fang Yuan breathed in, feeling refreshed.
Looking into the distance, his field of vision was wide. The mountains were like a painting, and it was peaceful under the moonlight.
"The bright moon shines on the pines, the clear spring flows over the rocks." Fang Yuan recited, and could not help but think of a fable from Earth.
A group of monkeys chased after the moon. When they saw the moon in the well, they wanted to fish for it. The monkeys at the back would grab the tails of the monkeys in front, and the monkeys in front would grab the tails of the monkeys in front. Just like that, the monkey at the front would finally touch the water in the well.
When it stretched out its hand, the water would shake and the moon would scatter.
The people of this world were often like this. When they saw the shadow of the moon, they would think that it was the real moon.
Little did they know that it was only the moon in the well, the moon in their eyes, and the moon in their hearts.
"In this life, I wish to become the real moon, to leave the heavenly mountains, to play with the clouds and seas, to reflect the past and present, to walk above the dark heavens." Fang Yuan's eyes were clear, and his pupils reflected the beautiful green mountains.
On the hillside, a skinny youth stood silently.
A golden moon, like a disk, hung high in the night sky.
It had existed since ancient times, traversing through the night sky, and faintly imprinted the youth's tiny shadow on the bluestone.
