Rebirth Against Heaven [Cultivation]

Chapter 25, Finding the Truth

Fu Jun ignored Qin Zhan's pretending to be stupid, and said in a low tone, "You promised me that you would not hide anything from me before any major events."

Qin Zhan was quiet for a while, and the faint smile lines around his lips immediately disappeared, and said: "You say that, do you think I haven't done it?"

"You know it in your heart." Fu Jun said coldly.

"Okay, if you want to accuse me, I admit it, but you have to explain what it is, right?" Qin Zhan looked a little helpless, as if facing a willful and unreasonable urchin, he could only tolerate it in every possible way. let.

"The second volume of Tianyuan Xuangong." Fu Jun said in a cold voice, "You really don't understand the sentence that the spirit body is equal? ​​Or do you just want to say it through the mouth of the big brother?"

Fu Jun felt infinitely annoyed—how could he forget that Qin Zhan in his previous life never had any doubts after seeing the sentence that the spirit body was equal.Even if it was me, even if it was the first time I saw that sentence, I should have guessed what it meant.

Because when they asked Xiao Yunhui for advice during the recovery period, Xiao Yunhui once explicitly told them that spiritual strength and physical strength are very important when practicing, and neither of them should be ignored.

Qin Zhan looked calm, and instead of answering, asked, "Why should I borrow the words of senior brother?"

But Fu Jun understood that Qin Zhan's answer in this way had actually acquiesced to his first question.

He would occasionally find it strange that if Qin Zhan really wanted to fabricate lies to deceive him, he could do it, and it could be done seamlessly, but it seemed that since the first memory of his previous life, although Qin Zhan had hidden many things from him, as long as he Asked, and never cheated.

... But it may be because many times, since he has no doubts, he will not question Qin Zhan at all.

After all, if he in his previous life asked Qin Zhan, "Was Master killed by you" in front of everyone in Danxiao Sect, would Qin Zhan still answer truthfully?

Fu Jun restrained his mind and said slowly: "Because you want senior brother to help you bear the limelight, so you pretend not to understand, right?"

Qin Zhan's words and deeds are too complicated. Sometimes he monopolizes the limelight, wishing that everyone knew that he did it, and he was the only one who did it; planned scenes.

"..." Qin Zhan was noncommittal.

"You use senior brother as a shield, but you benefit from it, don't you?" Fu Jun's tone gradually became serious. "Isn't this a big deal?"

Qin Zhan finally spoke, but his expression seemed to be a little unclear: "So in your eyes, any action involving the elder brother is a big deal."

Fu Jun was slightly taken aback, and said, "No, it's the same for other senior brothers." After a pause, he added, "Don't take this opportunity to change the subject."

Qin Zhan nodded, and said calmly and generously: "Okay, since you asked, I will tell you all my thoughts."

Fu Jun couldn't help staring at Qin Zhan's eyes, and listened with bated breath, as if he could tell whether Qin Zhan was telling the truth or not.

Qin Zhan's eyes were still like pure black crystals, they looked clear, transparent, and lustrous, without any trace of haze.

Sometimes Fu Jun wondered why someone like Qin Zhan with a deep mind could have such pure and flawless eyes.

But this time... I won't be easily deceived again.

"This kind of showy thing, only if the big brother does it, there will be no problem. But if it were you and me..." Qin Zhan seemed to pause deliberately, "I'm afraid it will cause some people's jealousy and dissatisfaction, hehe .” The last chuckle was barely audible, but it naturally revealed a bit of coldness.

Fu Jun was stunned, and couldn't help retorting: "You and I are just beginners now, and our cultivation has just entered the initial stage of Yijian. Among the disciples of our school, there are countless people who are better than us, so what is there to be jealous of? ? You are too arrogant."

"If no one is really dissatisfied..." Qin Zhan changed his tone, "Then why did you and I experience such a cruel and cruel illusion during the illusion trial? Fu Jun, do you really think that such an illusion is the work of the elders of the law? A test set by the heart?"

The trial and assessment of the inner disciples every year is nominally in charge of the law elder Zhuang Xingzhi, but the specific details are handled by several disciples under Zhuang Xingzhi's sect.

Fu Jun was speechless for a while, and then said, "So you haven't forgotten about the trial."

"How dare I forget such an unforgettable thing?" Qin Zhan smiled lightly, the curvature of the corners of his lips seemed soft, but his eyes were icy cold, as sharp as a blade. "Naturally, it must be carefully and seriously...keep it in mind."

Fu Jun remained silent and did not reply.

Qin Zhan put away his displeasure in an instant, his expression recovered, and he changed the topic: "Do you still remember, the first day you woke up after the trial, I asked you if you want to know what happened during this year's trial? How many people failed?"

Fu Jun was quiet for a while, and suddenly answered the wrong question: "Today is the ninth day of November, and it has been two months since the trial day."

"That's right, it's exactly sixty days apart." Qin Zhan nodded with a leisurely expression, and seemed not in a hurry for Fu Jun's obvious change of subject.

Fu Jun continued to narrate calmly: "On the fifth day of October, when we went to visit old friends at the training platform of the outer gate, you didn't ask anyone about the losers of the test."

Qin Zhan sighed softly, and said: "Fu Jun, don't you think that as successful people, we directly ask those outer disciples how many people have failed in the trial, which will inevitably make people think that we are showing off?" Is it? Although some people's jealousy is not worth mentioning, and it will not hinder you and me, but if we make too many enemies, we will fail to live up to the teachings of the elders of the law."

Fu Jun knew that what Qin Zhan said was referring to one of the school rules that Zhuang Xingzhi taught every new disciple: the same school must be friendly and harmonious, mutual help and mutual benefit, no unreasonable disputes, and jealousy and jealousy are strictly prohibited.Those who disobey, the light ones will close their doors and think about their mistakes, and the serious ones will be expelled from the teacher.

... Does Qin Zhan really want to follow Zhuang Xingzhi's teachings?

Fu Jun didn't quite believe it, but he didn't want to get entangled in this matter, but continued to maintain a cold attitude: "From the sixth day of October to the seventh day of November, you and I were copying Tianyuan Xuangong a few days ago, and the next 25 days , you and I are practicing hard, you should have no time to inquire about these things."

"You're right." Qin Zhan smiled slightly, "To be honest, I just learned about this news yesterday."

"You obviously never forgot about the trial, but why did you delay it until now? Could it be that if you didn't check it back then, and now you check it again, it would have given you some advantages?" Fu Jun's tone was calm, but he couldn't hide a trace of doubt , "What are you thinking, Qin Zhan?"

"What I think is actually very simple." Qin Zhan said in a slow tone, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness but connivance in his eyes, "Before there is conclusive evidence for this matter, you and I should not alarm Master and the elders."

Qin Zhan paused deliberately, seeing that Fu Jun did not speak, and knowing that he did not object to this sentence, he smiled again: "So you and I should investigate the truth secretly, find out the cause and effect, and then report it to Master. In this way, it is also considered Is it to do my best for Master, share worries and solve problems?"

Fu Jun continued to remain silent, and Qin Zhan also continued to say: "The brothers who are in charge of the trial, the lowest level of cultivation is also the initial stage of Yijian. You also know that although the early stage of Yijian is only a stage higher than the later stage of holding a sword, the real But the difference is big. After entering the realm of the sword of will, you can use the spells recorded in the scripture book, including spells that can make people hallucinate. So if you and I don’t want to return without success, it’s best to wait until today, We have also reached the initial stage of the will sword, so it will be much easier to do things like this."

Although Fu Jun knew that what Qin Zhan said was right, he still couldn't help arguing: "Then why don't you just wait until our cultivation reaches the late stage of Yijian? Wouldn't it be more secure?"

Qin Zhan didn't think it was disobedient: "It's not easy to rise from the early stage of Yijian to the late stage of Yijian? Some seniors spent decades to achieve it, and they couldn't make it to the late stage of Yijian in their lifetime. Although I don't think you and I will spend dozens of years. It takes time, but I don’t dare to take it too seriously. And this kind of thing, the sooner the investigation is the better, if it is later, it is very likely that nothing will be found.”

Fu Jun was silent.

"Also, it has been two months now, and the matter about the trial has been calm. The person who designed such an illusion should relax his vigilance. When the other party is unprepared, he should be able to get twice the result with half the effort." Qin Zhan finished speaking, and then He smiled slightly, "How? I think so, it should be reasonable, right? If you think there is anything wrong, just tell me, I am willing to be taught at any time."

In the end, Fu Jun only replied with a cold face: "You... have always been like this." No matter what you do, you must do it extremely carefully, so that no one can find anything wrong.

Qin Zhan smiled slightly, seeming to accept Fu Jun's evaluation as a compliment, and then returned to the previous question: "If you don't deny it, I will pretend that you want to know how many people failed this year's trial."

Fu Jun did not object.

"The year before last there were seven people, last year there were eight people, and this year..." Qin Zhan paused, seemingly surprised by the number, "There are 19 people in total."

Fu Jun's heart trembled, and he lost his voice slightly: "It's twice as much as last year..." He calmed down, and then said, "Those people, how are they doing now?"

"Nineteen new tombs have been added to the cemetery at the outer gate in the past two months. Do you want to see it?" Qin Zhan's face also turned solemn. "The losers this time seem to have died much earlier than in previous years, and they all died within a few days after the trial."

"..."

"The total number of outer disciples participating in the trial this year is only 360. Last year it was 320, and the year before last it was 310. Although this year's number is more than in previous years, it is not twice as many." Qin Zhan said in a tone. Shang Xian said calmly, "I also found out that some people participated in the trials every year, but nothing happened to them, nor did they encounter any strange sights. Why do you think this is?"
