While everyone was talking, they had already arrived underground.
Excavations here extend in all directions.
Many servants and disciples have taken shelter here temporarily.
After seeing Mr. Qiu Er leading the people down, he immediately came over to say hello.
The monk who abstained from evil seemed to be relieved when he saw this, and then said:
"It turns out that the second young master has already caught this devil."
"Brother, because of his own selfishness, the Qiu family was almost destroyed.
"My father also suffered for this.
"As the next leader of the Qiu clan, I naturally have to shoulder the responsibility at this time.
"I dare not say that I can turn the tide, but I must try my best to save my people from the fire."
While he was talking, he handed the eldest son to a disciple and said with a complicated expression:
"Lock up the eldest brother, but don't make it difficult for him.
"I can understand his difficulties. People share the same heart and feelings.
"If I were in a different place, maybe I would be in such a miserable state.
"He is now insane and has no consciousness. We just need to keep him in prison and don't let him hurt anyone.
"You are not allowed to retaliate privately, otherwise there will be great disaster. If I find out, I will not be lenient."
Several people took Mr. Qiu over and agreed with fear.
The evil monk saw this scene and immediately sighed:
"Everyone in the world says that the Qiu family is too keen on procreating children.
"It would be biased to favor the second son because the eldest son has no heirs.
"But I don't know that the second young master is the best choice regardless of his character or martial arts skills.
"With the Second Young Master here, this Qiu family crisis will definitely be resolved.
"I just don't know where the devil is now?"
"Master, please come this way."
Young Master Qiu stretched out his arms as a guide, leading Monk Jie Xie and Jiang Ran and his entourage deep underground.
Not long after walking, they came to an empty hall-like place.
The guests and hosts were seated first, and then Young Master Qiu said:
"The demon is now being imprisoned deep underground.
"The lives of all the disciples of my Qiu clan are in the hands of this person.
"So, before Master leaves, I need to remind Master a few words.
"This man's life and death are related to our Qiu clan. No matter what means we use to force him to speak, we must not kill him.
"After this person fully explains how to free our Qiu clan, he can be handed over to the master for disposal, and we, the Qiu clan, will not interfere.
"In addition, as for my eldest brother who secretly took this person away from Yanxu City, I will personally post a post to explain the whole story to the various factions involved in this battle and apologize."
The Master of Jieying Evil nodded slightly and agreed:
"Second Young Master, don't worry.
"Our Dafan Chanyuan has many ways to deal with these devils.
"There is no need to use thunderous means, only the influence of Buddhism. However, it will take a while. I wonder if the Second Young Master can wait?"
"Of course it's okay."
Young Master Qiu sighed:
“Many days have passed since the incident happened.
"It's not like I'm in a hurry..."
"Okay, that's it..."
Just as the evil monk was saying this, he heard Jiang Ran suddenly say:
"Second Young Master, I have something I want to ask you. I don't know if I should ask it."
Young Master Qiu looked up at Jiang Ran and immediately put on a smile:
"You're being negligent. Mr. Jiang just says what he wants to say."
"We just met in a hurry, and there are some things that I haven't had time to explain."
Jiang Ran said softly:
"The reason why I brought my companions to the Qiu clan on this trip is actually because I met a person on the road...
"This person's name is Bai Lu.
"She is the wife of Lord Qiu."
"Sister-in-law?"
Young Master Qiu's eyes lit up and he stood up immediately:
"Where is my sister-in-law now?"
"But I can't tell Master Qiu this now."
Jiang Ran said:
"Because I have a question in my mind that has never been answered..."
"Master Jiang, just ask."
Young Master Qiu said quickly:
"My eldest brother has not been married for many years, and it was only after he met his sister-in-law that he had the idea of starting a family.
"My sister-in-law's safety may be of great help to my brother's recovery."
Jiang Ran nodded:
"But when I saw Mrs. Qiu, she was being hunted.
"The young lady told me that the person who sent people to hunt him down was the Second Young Master Qiu.
"I wonder what Young Master Qiu has to say about this matter?"
Young Master Qiu's expression changed and he immediately became furious:
"Someone is hunting my sister-in-law?
"Mr. Jiang, do you really mean what you say?"
Jiang Ran glanced at this man in surprise and found that his expression, tone, and movements did not seem to be fake.
The sincerity of love makes people believe it.
Then he nodded slightly:
"There are no lies.
“To be honest, this trip is quite difficult and dangerous.
"Killers appeared one after another, including one named Liu Huaishang...
"If there wasn't another reason at that time, we might have really lost our lives to the Qiu family."
"Ghost Immortal Liu Huaishang?"
The evil monk was stunned for a moment and immediately looked at Young Master Qiu:
"If the poor monk remembers correctly, this person seems to have a very good relationship with the second young master."
"Not only do we have a great friendship, he is also a distinguished guest that I invited and has always been supported by the Qiu clan."
Mr. Qiu Er added.
"So, the Second Young Master is admitting that you have been the one sending people to hunt down Mrs. Qiu all along?"
"No."
Young Master Qiu sighed:
"I just lament that even though some people appear to be sincere, they are actually deeply alienated from each other.
"I have great respect for Liu Huaishang, but I never thought that even he would betray me.
"This matter involves the secrets of my Qiu clan...
"Logically speaking, I shouldn't be so frank with you two.
"But now, if I don't tell you, you two won't believe me.
"To be honest, everyone in the world says that my Qiu family only has two sons in my father's generation.
"Actually, there is a third one.
"It's just that this person's mother is not a righteous person.
“My father’s acquaintance with her, and even the secret knot in the bead, were all a coincidence.
"But as heirs, we dare not discuss the details.
"All you need to know is that the person who hunted my sister-in-law out was actually this person's handiwork.
"He secretly committed this murder not necessarily to kill my sister-in-law, but just to provoke a fight between my eldest brother and me.
"He likes to reap the benefits.
"To be honest, if he hadn't been the instigator, my eldest brother might not have been so stupid that he took the risk of bringing the demon back to the Qiu clan."
Jiang Ran and the evil monk looked at each other.
This is empty talk.
After all, he was talking about something that no one knew about... But Second Young Master Qiu also said at the beginning that this was a secret of the Qiu clan and was not known to outsiders.
Now, no matter how many questions he asks, he can still use them as excuses.
Jiang Ran sighed:
"I really don't know whether I should believe what Second Young Master said.
"That's all, let's put it aside for now.
"The devil's matter is more important..."
"Indeed."
Young Master Qiu said:
"However, I will definitely give an explanation for this matter next time, so please rest assured, Young Master Jiang.
"Well, you all have come from afar. Even though our Qiu clan is in such a predicament now, we still cannot lose our hospitality. Why not, let's have a banquet first to give you a cleansing welcome.
"Are you going to look for this demon again?"
"No need."
The monk who abstains from evil said:
"It concerns the life and death of the Qiu clan leader, as well as the lives of so many disciples.
"I'm afraid the poor monk won't be able to eat this meal.
"It needs to be resolved as soon as possible... Please ask Mr. Qiu to lead the way."
"In that case, thank you very much, Master... But Mr. Jiang..."
"I'll go too."
Jiang Ran smiled and said:
"I have heard about the Demon Cult for a long time, but I have never seen a real member of the Demon Cult.
“This time is an eye-opener.
"But I don't know if the master of abstaining from evil would like to have one more person like me?"
As he said this, Shuangxue and the eldest princess behind him couldn't help but glance at the back of his head.
He lied without batting an eyelid. He really acted like a fledgling young man in the world of martial arts.
It also fits his character design of traveling all the way from the ancient country of Akiye to the country of Qing.
The evil monk gave a wry smile and glanced at Mr. Qiu:
"What do you think, Second Young Master? There's nothing wrong with this poor monk."
Young Master Qiu hesitated for a moment, then nodded:
"Since Mr. Jiang is curious, he should work with the master of abstaining from evil.
"However, this devil's methods are treacherous. Although he has been controlled by us, it is difficult to say whether there are other methods...
"Young Master Jiang must be careful after he goes down."
Jiang Ran nodded:
"Okay, okay, I must be careful."
After they had finished saying what they needed to say, everyone stood up and, under the leadership of Mr. Qiu Er, left the living room and walked along the tunnel to the deepest part of the cave.
A solid door blocked everyone.
Just listen to Master Qiu say:
"This door is made of black iron and is half a foot wide.
"Some people from the Baimu Sect also took the initiative to build a mysterious mechanism.
"No matter how great your martial arts skills are, it is absolutely impossible to escape from this.
"The devil's methods are treacherous. In order to prevent this person from causing chaos, we can only imprison him here."
As he spoke, he took out three keys from his pocket and inserted them into the three keyholes one after another.
The first one made a half turn, the second one made a full turn, and the third one turned in reverse.
At this point, a click was heard from inside the iron door.
Young Master Qiu stretched out his hand and opened the iron door:
"Everyone, please come in."
Monk Jie Xie did not doubt that he was there, and immediately stepped into it, followed closely by his two junior disciples.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, was brave because he was an expert, and he didn't care, so he led Shuangxue and the eldest princess in.
Just as a group of people stepped inside, they heard a loud bang coming from the iron door.
It's already a perfect fit.
The voice of Young Master Qiu came from nowhere:
"Please forgive me, in order to prevent the devil from escaping, I can only put you and the devil together.
"After the matter comes to an end, I will release you all from this situation.
"However, if we count the time, the demon should wake up by now."
The monk who said these words didn't think there was anything weird about it, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
I feel like this is a bit weird.
This second young master Qiu seems to know the devil's situation very well.
At the same time, there was a sound of chains sliding.
A touch of awe-inspiring momentum immediately swept through everyone present.
I heard a voice sneer and say:
"Qiu Shi'an, have you found a few more people who want to die and come to kill them for me?
"The previous lessons were not enough?
"If you don't understand the internal strength of my teachings and practice my sword skills rashly, your mind will be confused and your meridians will be disordered.
"No matter how many people you send and see more sword skills, it will be impossible to practice this skill!!"
Jiang Ran suddenly understood after listening to this voice.
Not Wang Zhao!
This is Yuan Wang!
Jiang Ran and the others were in Guzhang County at that time. Because people from the Chongshan Sect disappeared inexplicably, they found Wang Yuanwai.
Then at night Wang Zhao came to perform the Star-Piercing Demon Slash, thus recognizing Jiang Ran and others.
Only now did Jiang Ran know that the Wang family in Guzhang County were all disciples of the Wenxinzhai lineage of the Demon Sect.
However, at that time, Jiang Ran only knew that Wang Zhao had extraordinary martial arts skills. He really didn't know what kind of abilities Wang Yuanwai had.
Afterwards, Jiang Ran gave an order, and all the people evacuated Guzhang County and went to Jinyang Mansion.
We meet again, but it is here and now.
As for his words, Jiang Ran was not surprised.
Even when Young Master Qiu spoke, his expression was sincere and his demeanor so natural.
But in the end, inconsistencies are inevitable.
The most contradictory point is that since he knows Bai Lu and knows that Bai Lu has a child, why did he still call himself the future head of the Qiu family?
In addition, since Mr. Qiu already has an heir, how can he be willing to take the risk to capture a demon sect disciple and put him at home to learn his martial arts?
If the two are slightly swapped, everything will make sense.
However, Jiang Ran was not surprised, but Monk Jiejie's face changed drastically:
"Amitabha, the devil's followers are certainly good at stirring up trouble.
"The poor monk is here to ferry you!!!"
After saying this, he sat cross-legged, vibrated his voice with the Zen sound of the Great Brahma, and recited the scriptures.
Every word hits my ears, causing the surroundings to tremble.
Jiang Ran glanced at the great monk in surprise, thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that it was natural for him to think so.
Rumors that the Demonic Cult is good at deceiving people are deeply rooted in people's hearts.
When I heard the demon sect's demons talking, my first reaction was naturally that they were stirring up trouble.
But this Buddhist Zen sound had no effect on Yuan Wang.
Just listen to him sigh softly:
"It turns out to be the bald donkey from Dafan Zen Temple!
"In Yanxu City, we were conspired by you and others, and this is why my Demon Sect suffered a small loss.
"How dare you appear in front of me today...you are really seeking death!
"Qiu Shi'an wants to use you to secretly learn my Star-Piercing Demon Slash...
"He is seeking death, and you are seeking death too. How can I not help you?"
As he said this, he heard the rattling of chains.
A figure suddenly jumped out, holding a knife in his hand. Both hands were bound by chains. However, the chains were so long that they could reach any part of the cell.
Seeing that the sword light was about to fall.
The man who drew the sword could only clearly see the person in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.
Even the blade of the knife is a piece of cake.
The evil monk closed his eyes tightly. Seeing this, he only thought that the chain was not long enough so that the demon could not kill him.
But I heard Qiu Shian's voice coming again:
"Huh? Why don't you take action?
"There were many people coming this time, including monks from the Dafan Temple, so I didn't warn them in advance.
"You are so consistent, don't you worry about being killed by them?"
Wang Yuanwai was unmoved by these words.
The evil monk suddenly opened his eyes:
"Young Master Qiu...what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing. The great monk continues to recite the sutra to transform this devil. Don't stop."
There was obvious joking in Qiu Shi'an's voice.
The expression of the monk who abstained from evil changed continuously.
Jumping up suddenly:
"Qiu Shi'an, are you deceiving this poor monk?"
"exactly."
There was a smile in Qiu Shian's voice:
"Everything I told you before was all lies.
"The person who brought him back was not my eldest brother at all.
"At that time, my sister-in-law was about to give birth. How could my eldest brother have time to go to Yanxu City?
"It's really not appropriate to be surrounded by my cheap sister-in-law every day, asking for her welfare.
"However, it was precisely because the news that he had given birth to a son reached my ears that I had the idea to bring this demon disciple back...
"Actually, devil, you should also thank me. Otherwise, you would have been dead for a long time."
When Wang Yuanwai heard this, his expression was a little worried.
He had already seen clearly that although Jiang Ran had changed his appearance, it was not too outrageous.
Therefore, Liao Yuxian and others were able to recognize Jiang Ran, and Wang Yuanwai could also tell at a glance that it was the young master in person.
As a result, he got into a fight with someone and was beaten to the point of being seriously injured and dying.
After hearing this, Young Master, wouldn’t he feel that he is useless?
At this moment, he didn't want to recognize the young master. He wanted to find a place to dig a hole with the knife in his hand and bury himself.
Jiang Ran gently waved his hand to signal the king, asking him to calm down for a moment.
The monk who abstained from evil took a deep breath:
"So, the Qiu clan's current disasters are all caused by you?
"Then Mr. Qiu... why did he fall into such a situation?"
"It's simple. The origin of Cheap Sister-in-law is actually very interesting.
"I investigated something, and she had no choice but to go back to her hometown to visit relatives.
"I took the opportunity to lie to my elder brother, saying that my sister-in-law had fallen into my hands on her way back to her hometown to visit relatives.
"If he didn't want his infant child to die without a burial place.
"Then let's learn this Star-Pilted Demon Slash.
"After all, it is the martial arts of the Demon Cult. Although I want to learn it, I don't dare to do it rashly.
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be putting yourself in danger?
"In fact, this is also the case... Starting from the eldest brother, and then to these disciples, each one counts, and the other one is crazy.
"The martial arts of this demon sect are indeed extremely evil...
"Well, don't just talk, do it instead.
"If you don't take action, then I will have to use my methods."
"Don't rush to use your methods yet."
Jiang Ran suddenly interrupted:
"You said that your cheap sister-in-law has another origin. Why don't you break it down and tell us about it? I'm quite curious about it."
"...How come your focus is so different?"
Qiu Shi'an was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said:
