Chapter 191 The Embarrassing Zuo Family

Gao Jian's voice suddenly came from outside.

However, the military doctor of the Demon Suppression Division, Doctor Bai who was born in the Zhenjing Taoist Palace, walked in pushing a sedan chair.

Su Yu, similar to a wheelchair, is also called "Wu Hou Car", with four wheels at the bottom and a chair on top.

Gao Jian was sitting on a plain carriage. He was paralyzed on one side of his body, with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. His whole body was wrapped in bandages and his joints were splinted. He was so crooked that he was almost drooling.

There's no way, the injury is too severe.

The disaster energy entered his body and was sprayed by the underground volcano. To be honest, when Doctor Bai found him, he didn't even think he was a living person. It seemed that he had been cold for a while.

But Doctor Bai realized at that time that dragon energy was protecting his heart meridian.

In other words, Gao Jian should have died a long time ago.

There was a high-level real dragon, most likely at the ninth level, which saved Gao Jian's life quietly and without being discovered by anyone.

However, Doctor Bai did not tell anyone about this.

There is no need to say it. What's the point of saying all this?

no point.

Everyone looked in the direction of Gao Jian, only to see him barely holding up his neck and saying, "I have always been on good terms with the Zuo family—"

After saying this, even the ancestor of the Shui family smiled.

But Gao remained calm when they met: "I was not willing to see the young master of the Zuo family die, but it was definitely not my fault. Since the Zuo family suspects me, I might as well give it a try, so as not to create a rift with the Demon Suppression Division. After all, we are all directors of the same government office. If there are conflicts between us, it will be bad. If there are some cracks above, it may offend the taboos and cause the officials below to make mistakes. The people below will suffer. For the sake of the people of Cangzhou, what does a little risk matter? Besides, I believe in Senior Zuo Qing! Come on!"

Gao Jian had said so much and even brought up such a big issue, so Sima of the Demon Suppression Division couldn't say anything more. However, the Zuo family didn't relax either, but looked at Gao Jian with a look of surprise and suspicion.

No, what is this brilliant idea about?
Sima of the Demon Suppression Division took two steps towards Gao Jian, lowered his voice, and said, "Hey... don't be afraid. No one can touch you without my approval. You don't have to cooperate with them."

In Gao Jian's current state, he couldn't gather the sound into a line, so he just shook his head.

Seeing this, Sima said no more and just stood aside.

As for Zuo Qing, no matter what doubts he had, he could not miss the opportunity at this time, so he nodded and said, "Sima is very protective of his son, and we understand that you care about the people, have insight into the subtle, and have a heart that respects heaven and works hard for the people. You are indeed a hero of the Divine Dynasty. We will not hurt your soul, but just ask you a few questions."

After saying this, Zuo Qing looked towards Zuo An.

Although Zuo An was unhappy, he still nodded.

The two helmsmen nodded at the same time, and then another member of the Zuo family came behind them and cast a spell.

After a while, an old man came from the horizon.

The old man didn't look special. He didn't have a long, fairy-like beard, just a few stubbles. His hair had all fallen out, leaving a bald head with only a few strands of hair remaining, neatly piled on top of his head.

He was wearing an ordinary grey cloth robe, had no magic weapon, and was just floating in the sky.

His expression was quite serene, with his arms slightly folded in front of him, covered by his sleeves. He looked quite relaxed, and his whole body was like a floating cloud in the sky, with no sense of existence, and looked like an insignificant background.

It seems that if someone were to walk beside him, they would probably completely ignore him and not see the old man at all.

It's not that she couldn't see him, but she instinctively treated him as an insignificant existence and erased him from her eyes.

The human eye has the ability to self-correct and can 'focus'.

When a person's eyes are focused on the right things, they can put their limited attention on the most important goals, allowing themselves to see clearly what they want to see.

When people focus their attention on an object, they will subconsciously ignore the things around them. This is an instinct, because when people focus their attention on everything around them, they will not be able to see anything clearly.

And this instinct seemed to be magnified to the extreme in him. He just stood there, motionless, but you just couldn't focus on him and would slowly ignore him.

You can still see him, but at the same time, you won't pay much attention to him, unless you focus all your attention on him and force yourself to regard him as the most important target in your field of vision.

But few people are able to observe the target with sustained concentration. The consequence is that once you relax, his presence becomes diluted again.

This old man floated from the air, and when he landed on the ground, even the examiner frowned.

The Eight Realms Shaman, this is... the patriarch of the Zuo family?
Zuo An then said, "This is the elder of the Zuo family, Zuo Shouwan. According to seniority, I should call him uncle."

Then, he stood up and led the other party to Gao Jian: "My uncle is personally presiding over this, and everyone present can bear witness that my Zuo family is not seeking revenge, but just wants to know the truth."

"I know, come on." Gao Jian nodded hard.

He tried really hard, after all, his neck was still in a bandage.

"General Gao is frank, so I won't be polite." The old man called Zuo Shouwan stared at Gao Jian.

"Elder, just let go and do what you want." Gao Jian looked at the other person calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura around Zuo Shouwan changed.

His presence is becoming clearer and clearer!
From "unable to focus" to "must focus".

Even the top archers had to aim at him.

Suppose Gao Jian is standing alone beside him, and Gao Jian is the target, but others will ignore Gao Jian and only pay attention to this particularly eye-catching old man.

This is supernatural power.

There is no supernatural power.

Knowing virtue and forgetting knowledge is the greatest knowledge. Isn't that virtue? The highest knowledge is not the few. Being quiet is the clear few. It is not clear. The great clear is not the small things. Fake is to manage things. Isn't it not fake? No one can't do it. Perfect is to have all the abilities. Isn't it not perfect? Therefore, in perfection, we should get rid of the abilities. In fake, we should get rid of the things. In knowledge, we should get rid of the few. What we know is wonderful. If we do this, we can follow the will of nature and our spirit can wander in the lonely world.

His supernatural powers extend throughout the universe, his virtue shines beyond the borders of the world, his vision is infinite, and his reputation flows endlessly.

This is called determining the nature in the great abyss, so it is named "nothingness".

If you know that you are virtuous and don't care about others knowing it, then you will be more known to others. How can you not be virtuous?
Sometimes, you may not look smart from the outside, but if you stay calm, your smartness will show.

And between this 'existence and non-existence' lies the power of supernatural powers.

Once this supernatural power is unleashed, if it works well, you will be famous throughout the world; if it works against you, no one will know what is happening. Whether you are capable or not, virtuous or not, it all depends on one's mind.

He couldn't be noticed just now, but now he must be noticed and cannot be ignored.

Another white cloud floated slowly in the sky, the summer wind was howling, and the sun was shining on the roof at this moment.

Just as the other party's magical powers were unleashed, Gao Jian suddenly felt that he could not take his eyes away.

The world seemed to disappear at this moment.

The only person he could notice was the old man.

His memory, his thoughts, the plans in his head, and the various lines of speech he had prepared in advance, all disappeared at this moment. He could no longer think of anything, and his mind was filled with "Zuo Shou Wan".

Gao Jian was the person with the lowest cultivation level present, and he was also the main recipient of the magical power, so he was the first to lose consciousness and sink into it, while the others resisted well. The examiner even praised: "Between existence and non-existence, there is still such a use. It is true that there are many talented people in the aristocratic families. It is an eye-opener for me."

But no one else said anything, just stared at Gao Jian.

Because Gao Jian's eyes had obviously lost their luster, he had been hit.

"Then, let me ask, how did the three young masters of the Zuo family die?" Zuo Shouwan asked.

Under the magical power, Zuo Shouwan should be the only person left in Gao Jian's mind.

He didn't have the ability or the spare time to think about lying.

"They were...killed by the volcanic eruption."

"Why did the volcano erupt? The underground fire at that time had actually been investigated in advance. The intensity of your extraction of the Yellow Spring and the earth veins should not be enough to cause the underground fire to erupt." Zuo Shouwan continued to ask.

Gao Jian laughed: "Tsk... these idiots, they wanted to kill me when no one was around and bury me in the ground, but they were unlucky, the volcano erupted, the red fire and the loud noise, like firecrackers, broke the disaster energy and dispersed the Xi Beast, the three of them were weak, and were sprayed to death directly."

As soon as these words were spoken, the situation suddenly became awkward.

what?
Were the three young masters of the Zuo family the first to take action?
"Divination, divination!" Zuo An immediately growled to the others!
The words were so clear, and even Gao Jian himself was right beside him. The cause and effect line was so clear that it immediately made it easy for the fortune teller among the witches to take action and verify whether it was a lie.

In the Divine Dynasty, there are ten thousand ways to make you tell the truth, as long as you are willing to cooperate, there is no need to use other means to counter.

Immediately, a wizard skilled in divination came forward from behind him, burned the bird bones, and began to divine according to Gao Jian's words based on cause and effect.

After a while, the chicken bone cracked. He observed the lines on it and said with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "Yes... it's true. It really happened."

This situation was more than just embarrassing.

Sima of the Demon Suppression Division immediately waved his sleeves and sneered, "I am not surprised by the Zuo family's actions."

Although the other families did not speak, many of them nodded secretly.

This is indeed the style of the Zuo family. It’s not surprising.

"So, what role did you play in this? Were you involved?" Zuo Shouwan's expression remained unchanged. He was a shrewd man and did not panic because of these things.

"I...don't have any." Gao Jian hesitated for a moment and replied.

"What were you doing at that time?"

"I'll go up and say that the competition must be suspended. Why not stop and work together to resist the collapse..."

"Ridiculous, you are that kind of person?!"

“I… am that kind of person.”

At this time, Doctor Bai next to him suddenly spoke up: "Gao Jian is a man of integrity and righteousness. I think everyone can see this. I don't think I need to say more about who he is."

There is obviously nothing wrong with what he said. Although it was said by a military doctor, this military doctor...came from the Zhenjing Taoist Palace.

Coming from the people of Zhenjing Taoist Palace, such words are just right.

After all, these Taoists generally would not get involved in the fights between aristocratic families.

The aristocratic families actually see very clearly what kind of person Gao Jian is. This kind of person cannot get along with the aristocratic families, and everyone can't stand him. But in a secular sense, Gao Jian is a good person.

Shui Cangcang's attitude can be seen from this point.

Shui Cangcang actually likes dealing with Gao Jian, but he never has any collusion with Gao Jian on any interest basis.

Dealing with Gao Jian, because Gao Jian will not take advantage and without mixing interests, is to prevent Gao Jian from singing a different tune from them on such matters.

We are all working on one thing together, Gao Jian wants to sacrifice his body to pursue righteousness, what should the aristocratic families do?
Once Gao Jian starts to oppose such matters, in order to maintain the relationship with Gao Jian, one will have to give up one's own interests.

If you don't want to give up your interests, then you have to be prepared to fall out with Gao Jian.

It's very difficult. For aristocratic families, people like Gao Jian can be made friends with but not be close friends with, and certainly not be brought in to do big things together.

Soon, Zuo Shouwan asked a few more questions, and Gao Jian answered them all without any light in his eyes.

Then, immediately afterwards, Zuo Shouwan turned around.

It seems that the questions are over.

The scene became noisy and some people couldn't hold back anymore and started whispering.

But at this moment! Zuo Shou Wan Meng turned around and asked quickly and sharply: "Did you kill the three of them?!"

The moment he turned around, the magical power around him expanded to the limit, so that everyone had to use their power to resist!

Even the examiner frowned.

This question was asked extremely quickly, and even scared some people with lower cultivation nearby!

The question was asked so quickly, coupled with the pressure of the fully expanded magical powers and the suppression of the Eighth Realm Shaman, even a normal Fourth Realm warrior would be frightened. If Gao Jian had any intention of being sober, he would probably jump up in fright.

But Gao Jian still didn't react, and replied very quickly: "It wasn't me, it was an accident."

Seeing this, Zuo Shouwan coughed dryly and looked at Zuo An and Zuo Qing.

Both Zuo An and Zuo Qing looked unhappy.

But they chose to nod and gestured to Zuo Shouwan.

Zuo Shouwan then turned around, slowly became inconspicuous again, and disappeared silently in front of everyone.

It was so silent that his entire body disappeared. He didn't even appear in the mirror. Even the snow where he stepped on left no trace.

He no longer exists. If one's cultivation level is lower, one would not even remember that he appeared here. Zuo Shouwan would even disappear from memory.

This is the magical power of the Eight Realms.

Supernatural powers, existence and non-existence, are so mysterious.

It is said that among the earthly immortals in the thirteen realms, there was one who knew this trick. When he performed it, he could even disappear in the "history books".

There is no difference in superiority or inferiority between supernatural powers, just like God's will, it only depends on how the individual uses it.

Obviously, Zuo Shouwan's level is quite high.

And for Zuo Shouwan, who is at such a high level, the investigation into Gao Jian is... no problem.

Then, the Zuo family was speechless.

However, Takami’s scabbard… was empty.
