With a "bang" sound, Lin Mengya closed the door of the inner room ruthlessly.
Long Tianyu lay helplessly on the door, begging nicely to his wife inside.
It's a pity that all his tricks failed today.
In desperation, he had no choice but to lie on the soft couch outside.
But his eyes never strayed away from that door.
Inside, Lin Mengya didn't rest either.
She was also carefully sorting out what happened during this period.
Judging from the situation she currently has, "Nanting Collection" should be the key to the matter.
But the pharmacological knowledge she possesses is either obtained from the analysis of small medicines or from the decoding of Qingzheng spectrum.
Perhaps, there may be some relationship between Qingzheng Pu and Nanting Collection.
But the top priority is to prove that the thing is not in her hands, otherwise she will become the target of public criticism.
Unexpectedly, the ruling elder was more anxious than she imagined.
The next day, the three people asked to see them again, but their attitude today was not as polite as yesterday.
Of course, Long Tianyu couldn't let her face it alone, so today's situation became that the temple was fully prepared, and the three ruling elders were also coming menacingly.
Deputy Palace Master Qin was also confused.
Obviously, when he took these people to visit the temple yesterday, the atmosphere was still very harmonious.
So now it seems like they are here to collect debts?
"Holy Lord, madam, the temple and our ancient tribe have always been in harmony with each other. But now you are openly killing people of my ancient tribe. Do you really think that our ancient tribe is powerless to resist?"
It was another elder who spoke.
And Elder Mu's face didn't look good either.
Long Tianyu said in a deep voice, "Elder, you accuse my temple of killing your people when you open your mouth. Is it possible that our temple is also easy to bully? Even if you want to raise an army to accuse, you have to provide evidence, otherwise our temple
I won’t let it go!”
Long Tianyu's tough attitude actually made the ancient tribe calm down a little.
The ruling elder who spoke coldly snorted and said, "Humph, if there is no evidence, how dare you disturb the palace master? Come here, bring up the bodies of the ancient clansmen we found!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the young man who had been following them yesterday brought up several corpses.
Seeing this, Lin Mengya frowned.
She knew all these corpses, the ones who went crazy before getting down to business, and she had done some research with these corpses before.
But she clearly ordered people to guard her more closely last night and not let anyone trespass. Why was she found by these elders?
She looked at Long Tianyu in confusion, who also wanted to seek answers from her.
But now the two of them have a good understanding.
It seems they were tricked again this time. r> Long Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
If before his rectification, the temple had many forces, it would not be surprising that such a hindrance would appear.
But now that everything in the temple should be under his control, and such an accident happened, he had to think more.
Did "those people" also take action?
This possibility made Long Tianyu's heart tremble, and he became more cautious about this matter.
If this was the case, then he would have to rethink the impact this incident would have on the temple.
Seeing the corpses that were covered with corpse spots and were about to rot, the faces of the three elders were full of anger.
"Madam, you had people deal with these people secretly and were intercepted by us. You have to give us an explanation for this matter."
She didn't let anyone dispose of the bodies.
Obviously, someone wanted to further intensify the conflict between her and the three ruling elders.
"I did ask people to keep these corpses, but my purpose is to find out the real cause of their death, not to do any bad things with these corpses."
Her eyes were candid and she told the truth.
But the three elders did not agree with her reasons.
"If you really want to find out the cause of their death, that's all. I think you obviously want to get the secret of the bloodline of our ancient people!
Back then, you forced us into a desperate situation, so that we had no choice but to find places to hide in the dark.
Now our ancient tribe has been recuperating for many years and has finally recovered. But because of your greed, you have taken advantage of our tribe again.
Let me tell you, even if I, Lao Mao, die, I will not let you kill my people again!"
These words scolded Lin Mengya like crazy.
But she was really aggrieved. She had never heard of any secrets of bloodline.
How could Long Tianyu bear the criticism of his wife like this? He immediately slammed the table.
"I only respect you for the sake of my master. Who knew you would dare to be so disrespectful to my wife? I don't think there is any need to say any more. You guys will take your clan members away now. The revenge of your ancient clan
My temple will be next!"
Elder Mao was also furious.
"Just fight, my ancient tribe is still afraid of you!"
The two parties were about to break up the conversation, and Deputy Palace Master Qin also looked anxious.
At this time, Lin Mengya also said with a cold face, "I mean the same thing as my husband. I originally thought you were here to reason, but now I understand that you are just here to do whatever you want."
Then find a murderer to take the blame. Since you have already identified me as the murderer, what else can you say? Just let me come, my Gong family has never been afraid."
"You, you are just using your power to bully others!"
Even though Elder Mao was being pulled by the other two elders, he still blushed and argued with her.
Lin Mengya retorted unceremoniously.
"Bullying others? You old man really know how to praise us. If we were really that powerful, we would have kicked you out by now."
How could Elder Mao compare with her sharp tongue?
After a long time, you and I were so angry that we could only grit our teeth and stare at them.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu were resolute, and the atmosphere was at a stalemate for a while, making it very ugly for both parties.
Elder Mao had long wanted to walk away, but Elder Mu kept stopping him.
"Lao Mao, calm down and don't be so excited." ??
Then he said to the couple, "Lao Mao has a bad temper, and he is so angry because of the tragic situation of his tribe. Please be magnanimous and don't argue with him."
Originally, Lin Mengya didn't want to continue the stalemate with these die-hards.
But she knew very well that if she wanted to clear herself of these grievances, she must cooperate with the other party.
She took a deep breath.
"Elder Mu, we don't have to argue with him, but you'd better let him control his mouth."
Elder Mao wanted to yell, but Elder Mu gave him a sharp look and insisted that another elder immediately shut up his troublesome mouth.
"Okay, okay, everyone wants to find out the truth of the matter. In this case, let's stop arguing."
Deputy Palace Master Qin also took the opportunity to smooth things over with Elder Mu.
All in all, it brought both parties back to the negotiating table.
After this incident, Elder Mu and Deputy Palace Master Qin actually felt sympathy for each other.
It's really hard to be a good person.
Elder Mao was still sitting aside angrily, and from time to time he would gouge them with a knife.
Although Long Tianyu was angry, he still looked at his wife's face and only glared at the other party with cold eyes.
Lin Mengya was really convinced.
What kind of fate must have brought these two childish ghosts together.
Elder Mu also felt deeply embarrassed and could only try his best to ignore the useless guy.
"Madam, since the matter has reached this stage, I will ask directly."
"Please tell me."
"Do you really not have the Nanting Collection in your hands?"
Facing the urgency and doubt in Elder Mu's eyes, Lin Mengya shook her head cautiously.< br>
"I can confirm that I have never seen any Nanting Collection. If possible, I would also like to ask you what exactly is this thing? Is it worth your efforts to mobilize so many people?"
Elder Mu sighed quietly.
"Actually, I have never seen the Nanting Ji, but there are ancient records in the clan. The Nanting Ji records all the characteristics and fatalities of the seventy-two clans of my ancient descendants. It can be said that mastering the Nanting Ji will
It is equivalent to controlling the lives of everyone in our ancient tribe. Life and death are at stake, so we have to be cautious."
Elder Mu's words shocked her.
The other person's tone was deep, and she could hear the fear and anxiety hidden in it.
Imagine if all her lifeblood was in the hands of a stranger.
If it's a person with integrity and kindness, it's okay, but if it's a villain who commits evil, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"I see. But I have always been curious about the fact that the Ancient Clan has no contact with the Temple Suri, so how did you know that the Nanting Collection is in my possession?"
"Well..."
Elder Mu hesitated.
"Please forgive me for not informing Madam about this matter."
"Why is this?" she asked in confusion.
"Humph, I told you so that you can kill people and silence them?" Elder Mao spoke at an inappropriate time, causing the atmosphere to suddenly become colder again.
Elder Mu pointed at him with hatred.
"Shut up, don't you think you've caused enough trouble?"
Then he said to her apologetically, "Madam, don't get me wrong, it's not what Lao Mao said. It's just that I promised that person that I will never reveal his affairs to anyone."
Lin Mengya nodded, a little helpless.
The purpose of this person is probably to shift the focus of the ancient clan to her.
But what good does this do to them?
"It doesn't matter. I am an upright person. Whether Elder Mu believes it or not, Nanting Ji is indeed not in my hands. I'm afraid you have found the wrong person."
In fact, she wanted to remind Elder Mu that the person who revealed this matter to him might have evil intentions.
But she knew that the other party was a benefactor to Elder Mu, so she could only stop there.
Elder Mu sighed heavily.
"Well, I believe in the character of the head of the Gong family. It's just the traces on these corpses. Madam should give me a suitable reason, right?"
What he was referring to was probably the various traces she left behind when she was doing research on the corpse.
"That's easy to say, but I want to ask Elder Mu first, do you know that there are problems with the bloodline of some ancient relics?"
