"Oh?" Taoist Lingxu smiled and said, "Then why do you think Shenji is innocent?"
Su Lin said: "Based on my understanding of Master Shenji and my intuition!"
Taoist Shenji on the side fell silent.
"Hmph! This kid is obviously talking nonsense. In my opinion, he is from the Miaoyin Sect who came to save this sinner! I hope your leader can find out the details and execute this criminal as soon as possible!"
Elder Wu on the side finally couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing that Taoist Lingxu seemed to be changing his mind, he hurriedly spoke.
"Hmph!" Taoist Lingxu waved his sleeves and snorted, "I, Kunlun, don't need your advice from Shushan on how to do things!"
Elder Wu's expression changed, and he hesitated to speak. After all, he did not speak, because their leader of Shushan was still in charge of Shushan, and without the leader to support them, he could not be too presumptuous.
Su Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the changes in the scene, and thought deeply for a moment. It seems that the overt and covert fighting between the three upper sects is really not a rumor, but a fact!
Taoist Lingxu looked at Su Lin and continued to ask: "Even if you think Shenji is innocent, you still have to provide evidence!"
Taoist Lingxu felt a little anxious at this time, secretly scolding Su Lin for not living up to expectations, even if you want to exonerate the divine machine, you still have to come up with something!
Su Lin also felt that Taoist Lingxu in front of him seemed to be on their side, so he fell silent and thought for a long time.
Then he raised his head and said: "I don't have the evidence, but I do have the witnesses!"
Elder Wu said jokingly: "Witness? You should find it for everyone to see? Could it be that the witness you are talking about is you?"
Neither Su Lin nor Taoist Lingxu paid any attention to him.
Taoist Lingxu asked: "Where are the witnesses?"
Su Lin raised his head, looked at the people in the hall and said slowly: "All the disciples in Kunlun can testify!"
Hearing Su Lin's words, Taoist Shenji, who had been silent in the center of the hall, visibly moved, as if he had some feelings about his words.
Hearing this, Elder Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore and said excitedly: "You fart! All the disciples of Kunlun can testify to this. Do you think that Kunlun, as a famous sect of the third sect, will also collude with evil heretics like you?"
What he said was actually very deliberate. He said it just to block Taoist Lingxu's mouth so that Kunlun's disciples would not come forward to testify.
Sure enough, Taoist Lingxu frowned and could not continue to agree with Su Lin. At the same time, he glanced at the proud Elder Wu and sensed his difficulty.
Even though he wanted to exonerate Taoist Shenji, he couldn't find a good evidence or reason, so he really couldn't convince the public.
Taoist Lingxu frowned and said to Su Lin, "Is there any other evidence or witnesses?"
Su Lin fell silent, and after a long time said slowly: "No."
He came to Kunlun purely based on his enthusiasm and his understanding of Taoist Shenji. He didn't even understand what happened, so what evidence could he produce?
The Taoist Shenji in the center of the hall lowered his head, and couldn't see clearly what his expression was. He was probably more sad than heartbroken.
Taoist Lingxu said slowly: "Since there is no evidence... then, it's a divine machine."
Taoist Shenji said disheartenedly: "The disciple is here."
Su Lin clenched his fists tightly and looked at the many elders in the hall with a wary expression. He knew that Taoist Lingxu's next words would sentence Taoist Shenji.
If things really come to this point, he doesn't mind making a big fuss in Kunlun and rescuing Taoist Shenji!
Taoist Lingxu looked impatient and was about to speak.
Elder Wu on the side finally achieved his goal and looked at Su Lin who was eyeing him with a sneer.
Just when Taoist Lingxu was about to speak, several people suddenly walked in from outside the door.
"Amitabha." Those few people were chanting as they walked into the main hall. Taoist Lingxu, who was about to speak, also tightly shut his mouth.
When Elder Wu saw these people coming here, his pupils shrank and he remained calm.
Taoist Lingxu saw the people coming and said, "What do these masters mean by coming here? Didn't they say they won't attend the meeting today?"
The leader, a monk with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, was holding a staff. He first put his hands together and recited a Buddhist mantra before raising his head.
"This poor monk can testify for this little benefactor." The leading monk said slowly.
As soon as he said this, many people were shocked.
Among them was Su Lin. He vaguely guessed the origins of these monks. Judging from Taoist Lingxu's respect for these monks, they should be from Tianyin Temple, from the master's sect! And their status is not high.
Lower.
Su Lin was a little excited. He had never been to Tianyin Temple since he became a disciple of Monk Juechen. He didn't expect that the first time he met the eminent monk of Tianyin Temple would be under such circumstances.
Taoist Lingxu asked with slight surprise: "Master Juehui also thinks that Shenji is not guilty?"
The monk named the leader glanced at the disheveled and restrained Taoist Shenji in the center of the hall, lowered his head and silently recited the Buddha's name and said, "Not bad."
Then he turned his attention to Su Lin, smiled slightly and said, "If I read it correctly, the donor should be the lay disciple that my junior brother Juechen accepted in the secular world."
Su Lin was shocked, completely expecting that he would be recognized, but he did not dare to neglect. He clasped his hands together and bowed in return, then said: "Master's discerning eye knows the torch."
Elder Wu, who had not spoken since the people from Tianyin Temple appeared, saw the sudden change in the scene and finally said: "Master Juehui, I respect you as a senior monk of Tianyin Temple, but monks cannot lie, you
To say that this criminal is not guilty, we must provide evidence, otherwise how can we convince the public!"
Su Lin's heart was shaken, and he looked at the monk who was looking at him with a smile again, wondering what his background was.
Master Juehui smiled kindly at Su Lin and then said to Elder Wu: "I can vouch for Taoist Shenji with my Buddhist heart."
As soon as he said these words, many elders in the hall immediately started talking, it seems that they were also shocked by his words!
With Master Jue Hui as a guarantee, everyone's attitude has obviously changed, which shows how great Master Jue Hui's reputation has become.
Taoist Lingxu was also a little shocked, but when he reacted, he immediately said: "Since Master Juehui came forward to vouch for it, I think there must be something fishy in this. In my opinion, Shenji can be exempted from death, but he needs to be detained for a while until he is found.
Can only be pardoned if there is evidence of innocence, what do you think?"
After saying this, Taoist Lingxu looked at Elder Wu specifically.
Elder Wu looked at everyone in the hall and nodded secretly. He finally said nothing and just snorted coldly and turned his head away.
