How can one cultivate immortality without learning modern knowledge?

These words sent a chill down the spines of all the discerning people in the room.

Everyone understands this clearly.

Mo Ziyi is unlikely to make a move again.

Because all matters in the world can ultimately be categorized under the principle of "reason".

If Lao Qi is tested in public, Mo Ziyi can use the pretext of stopping war and non-aggression to stop it.

Regardless of whether it makes sense logically, there is at least some truth to it.

The Ministry of Justice is investigating the case and restoring the truth of that day, and no one has any reason to stop it.

To stop war and avoid aggression, you first need to have "war," right?

If the other side doesn't fight, but only "watches," what reason do you have to stop them from "watching"?

Mo Ziyi coldly said, "Why should I stop the Ministry of Justice from investigating? I also want to know if it was truly this Constable Qi who displayed his divine power and killed the Cangshan Sect Master, Li Yuancang, on Cangshan Mountain!"

"The girl in purple has finally agreed! That wasn't easy..." Bai Luoshui turned her gaze to Zhou Wenju: "And what about you, Brother Zhou? Do you agree as well?"

Zhou Wenju responded coldly: "If I say I disagree, will Brother Bai just give in?"

Bai Luoshui laughed and said, "That's obviously not the case!"

"Isn't that it? This is such a pointless and pretentious thing to do, like taking off your pants to fart. How boring!" Zhou Wenju replied coldly.

"Let's go, let's go up Mount Cang!" Bai Luoshui turned around and boarded the magic boat.

Lin Shuiyao quickly followed, seemingly afraid of being left behind. The look Zhou Wenju gave her when he stepped forward at the last moment when Lao Qi's life hung by a thread, his white shirt stained with blood, was colder than she had seen in the past five years.

She was afraid of that look.

Crown Prince Huo Qiuhe followed.

Old Qi was captured by several Jinwu Guards and thrown onto the Dharma Boat...

The Dharma boat set off straight into the Cangshan Mountains.

Zhou Wenju and Mo Ziyi, dressed in purple robes and with a green ruler, soared through the air and entered the Cangshan Mountains.

On the Cangshan Mountain, the shocking event that occurred half a month ago still looks appalling today.

Although the Li family had cleaned up the battlefield and buried the bodies, the bullet holes in the attic, the bloodstains on the ground, and the broken rocks all told the world about the brutality of that war.

There were no human voices, only some wild rabbits darting about in the mountains.

The once glorious Cangshan Sect has begun its descent into ruins as time marches on...

The Dharma boat crosses the river.

It stopped in the void.

On the Dharma Boat, two fourth-rank officials from the Ministry of Justice joined hands, and the strange plate in their palms soared into the air, spinning in the void above the Cangshan Mountain.

Zhou Wenju raised his eyes and met Mo Ziyi's gaze.

Mo Ziyi smiled sweetly, and suddenly a drop of ink flowed from her eye.

This drop of ink was different from the ink on the blue ruler that Zhou Wenju had seen before.

The ink on the blue ruler of yesteryear resembled both ink and flowers.

The drop of ink in her eyes, though surrounded by ink blossoms, contained a faintly discernible core—a core that was very indistinct…

The Ministry of Justice's "debriefing" revealed a radiant glow that enveloped the verdant mountains beneath their feet...

What is a post-mortem analysis?

It's exactly what it sounds like.

Let's "review" what happened in the past!

It is a divine tool for the Ministry of Justice in investigating cases!

This recap is similar in nature to Mo Ziyi's "Looking Back on the Past" that day.

Looking back on history is a sophisticated literary approach.

Not every high-level writer is proficient in this.

However, the Ministry of Justice does not require individuals to have exceptionally high skills when investigating cases. They possess top-tier literary treasures, such as this review, which, when activated by the power of literature, can achieve the same effect as "Looking Back on the Spring and Autumn Annals".

Furthermore, it can be recorded and used as irrefutable evidence for conviction.

Upon review, the scene of that day was recreated.

Villagers surrounded the mountain with guns, and gunfire erupted everywhere; the battle was extremely fierce.

Daoshan appeared, but he too fell to the ground under the gun.

The review could not replicate the "Power of the Dao," but the bizarre scene still chilled everyone in the Golden Guard. This spear, imbued with the Water of the Dao, could kill cultivators so easily!

When a master of Dao ascends to heaven, what seemed like a conventional war quickly becomes extraordinary.

Zhou Wenju leaped into the air, firing his gun at the Grand Elder...

Lin Shuiyao's eyes widened suddenly, filled with disbelief.

He... he can actually rise into the air! Is this a literary technique, or a Daoist technique from the path of cultivation? It's only been a little over a month since we last met, not ten or eight years, and he's already reached this level?

If he is still her lover, the more magical he is, the happier she is.

But that's no longer the case!

The more miraculous he seemed, the more terrified and frantic she became...

"Don't worry, young lady, this time we will wipe out their entire family!" A gentle voice came from beside her ear.

Lin Shuiyao turned her gaze and saw a pair of bright and warm eyes. The owner of these eyes was a top advisor whom even the Prince of Rulan greatly respected, and who could leisurely play chess with the Crown Prince: Bai Luoshui.

A smile graced Bai Luoshui's face.

This is a smile that signifies complete control...

Yes, everything today is under his control!

This includes the choice of timing and the control of processes.

The only one they overlooked was Mo Ziyi.

However, could a mere woman in purple really stop his chess skills?

What is Yi (弈)?

All the world's powers are merely pawns!

During the Ministry of Justice's "debriefing," the truth of that day is gradually revealed...

Zhou Wenju leaped into the air and killed the Second Elder with a spear. He then fired eleven more spears in quick succession. These eleven spears, imbued with the power of the Dao, posed a fatal threat to the eleven Dao Heart Elders.

However, eleven yellow leaves appeared out of nowhere and blocked eleven bullets.

The sect leader of Cangshan Sect, Li Yuancang, has made his move.

Li Yuancang has appeared; therefore, the true culprit who killed Li Yuancang is about to be revealed.

The most exciting moment will eventually be revealed in detail during the "recap".

All eyes were fixed on the scene before them.

Including Zhou Wenju himself!

With a whoosh, he was caught in the midst of reviewing the game when Li Yuancang grabbed him with a claw, causing him to involuntarily crash into Li Yuancang and then into the platform beneath his feet.

The next moment should be when Lao Qi's projection appears.

However, Zhou Wenju's eyes suddenly widened...

During the debriefing, someone did indeed appear.

But it wasn't Lao Qi.

But...

Dark purple robes!

With a flick of her wrist, Mo Ziyi used the Ink Measuring Ruler to transform into the familiar move: Ink Falls on the Long River, Meaning Across a Thousand Layers!

With just one wave, all eleven elders and Li Yuancang were swept in.

Li Yuancang shouted, "People of the Mohist school, you...you dare to enter my mortal realm and kill people?"

Mo Ziyi coldly replied, "At the invitation of a guest elder of my Mo family, and in accordance with the wishes of the 300,000 elders of Qishan, annihilating your sect is in accordance with the Mo family's principles!"

puff!

Li Yuancang was swept into the ink waves and turned into blood mist.

A surge of ink swept deep into the mountains, engulfing countless disciples of the Cangshan Sect with cultivation levels above the Dao Mountain realm at the same time…

Zhou Wenju's heart pounded wildly.

This is what she told him telepathically from the county government office: "Don't worry!"

This is her extraordinary talent in literature and philosophy.

She has more than just the power to look back on the past; she can also erase what has happened and transform it into any scene she desires.

This is not a method that Wenxin possesses.

This is truly a great supernatural power.

Only Wen Guo has a chance!

The person before her was not Wen Guo, but the drop of ink that had just flowed from her eye carried a hint of Wen Guo's essence. It was this hint that, in her review, led her to change the predetermined ending...

To Bai Luoshui's great surprise, she suddenly raised her gaze and locked it firmly on Mo Ziyi.

Two officials from the Ministry of Justice, their faces ashen, exclaimed: "You audacious madman, the real culprit is you!"

"It is indeed me, but so what?" Mo Ziyi said coldly.

Old Qi on the Dharma Boat suddenly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the images in the replay.

With the appearance of the investigative tool "Replay," he knew that all the cards had to be revealed that day.

He has been making a final struggle over one thing.

The question is whether or not to kill all of these people!

Since we've been exposed anyway, we might as well kill them.

But he also knew that the other party had made preparations. Bringing him onto the magic boat was not a random act. The place where he was lying was a magic array, and the other party was waiting for him to resist.

He needed to take a gamble: could he, in his current severely injured state, break through the opponent's formation?

Even if they win the bet, the Zhou father and son will have their crimes tenfold increased because of his decisive action...

Therefore, even when faced with the situation of "it's better to kill than not to kill," they still have many concerns when making the final decision.

However, when the cards were finally revealed, he was surprised to find that the cards had changed!

He was the one who killed Li Yuancang, but after the "recap", it turned out to be Mo Ziyi!

The "thunder" that seemed to have been completely detonated was quietly eliminated.

Old Qi, he hasn't been exposed!

On the Dharma Boat, all the Golden Guards drew their swords and spears, pointing them directly at Mo Ziyi.

This is Kim Moo-wai's normal behavior when dealing with criminal suspects.

However, Mo Ziyi stood on the green ruler and didn't even glance at them.

She was looking at Bai Luoshui.

He used a mocking look in his eyes.

Yes, just now in the county government office, Bai Luoshui also had this kind of look in her eyes later on. What do you call this look? I know you hate me, but I like to see you want to kill me, but you just can't do anything about it.

Bai Luoshui slowly withdrew her gaze from the debriefing and shifted it to Mo Ziyi's face: "Miss Ziyi, don't you think this action has somewhat crossed the boundaries of the Mohist principle of 'stopping war and non-aggression'?"

"Mr. Bai, would you like to discuss the Dao?" asked Mo Ziyi.

"I would like to hear your profound thoughts, young lady!" Bai Luoshui bowed politely.

This is the posture of listening to the truth.

However, Mo Ziyi smiled faintly: "You seem interested in learning the Dao, but you are nothing more than a dog raised by the Crown Prince, unworthy to hear my teachings! How about I offer you three suggestions instead?"

Bai Luoshui's face suddenly stiffened, and the entire Dharma Boat fell silent for a moment.

Everyone on the Dharma Boat held Bai Luoshui in high esteem.

The respect stemmed from the respect for the crown prince.

The Crown Prince valued Bai Luoshui highly because Bai Luoshui herself was exceptionally talented...

No one had ever spoken to Bai Luoshui like that before, calling her a dog to her face and telling her she was unworthy to hear the Dao...

However, Mo Ziyi is precisely this special case.

"Suggestion one!" Mo Ziyi said, "Deploy the Golden Guards and suppress me directly by force! Of course, this is extremely risky; it's entirely possible that I could wipe you all out with the flick of my wrist!"

On the Dharma boat, it remained as silent as night.

But the north wind howled, and the wind was biting cold.

Yes, everyone felt the biting cold.

The person in front of them had killed two commanders with the mere raising of his hand.

Her unparalleled combat prowess, claiming she could kill them all with a flick of her wrist, is no exaggeration.

The worst thing you can do is never ask her if she dares...

"Suggestion number two!" Mo Ziyi held up another finger: "After you return to the capital, complain to your Emperor."

Bai Luoshui's eyelids twitched slightly...

"Your Majesty!"

This statement encapsulates Mo Ziyi's fundamental attitude towards the current imperial family.

Your Majesty belongs only to you!

It's not mine!

"Suggestion three!" Mo Ziyi held up her third finger: "Summon the great Confucian scholars of the dynasty to the Mohist school. If you have the ability to suppress the Mohist school on the debate platform, the Mohist school will naturally... serve me three cups of slap wine as punishment!"

The two chief officials of the Ministry of Justice blushed deeply.

He summoned the great Confucian scholars of the imperial court to the Mohist school to discuss the Dao.

This seems to be the right path.

This has been the standard practice for the imperial court and the Mohist school to handle disputes over the years.

The solution lies in discussion.

What is meant by discussing the Way?

Reason with them, present the facts...

Once the facts are clear, whoever deserves to be punished should be punished...

But if you end it with: "Three cups of penalty wine..."

In other words, you told the dynasty from the beginning that the Mohists would never be fair or impartial on your issues and would definitely be biased.

Even if you are punished, it will only be a slap on the wrist.

you……

Aren't you being a bit too arrogant?

Bai Luoshui slowly raised her head: "How about we report this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince after we return to the capital?"

These words were spoken to the two chief officials of the Ministry of Justice.

The two chief officers' expressions shifted dramatically, and they gently raised their hands: "Return!"

The Dharma boat rises, soaring into the sky!

However, a blue ruler suddenly appeared in the sky, like a dark cloud, stretching across the heavens and earth, blocking the way for the Dharma boat.

Bai Luoshui's face suddenly darkened: "Could it be that the girl in purple really is..."

"Don't misunderstand! I have no interest in your lives," Mo Ziyi said calmly. "I just wanted to remind you all that you should put down this Constable Qi!"

"The Ministry of Justice investigates every case with utmost urgency! This person is still under suspicion; how can he be released so easily?" The Chief of the Ministry of Justice stepped forward, his authority as a law enforcer on full display atop Cangshan Mountain.

Snapped!

Amidst the dark clouds, a drop of ink fell upon his brow with a resounding boom!

The chief officer took ten steps back.

Mo Ziyi said coldly, "I just said 'please,' and you're getting all worked up. Do you really think I'm discussing this with you?"

With a gentle turn of the ink drop, Old Qi on the ground was drawn back by the ink drop and landed on the green ruler.

Zhou Wen reached out and grabbed his one arm. Old Qi's face was covered in blood and flesh, his eyes looking at him through rotten sockets, his expression full of complex emotions.

Zhou Wen raised his hand and tightened it slightly, without saying a word.

Bai Luoshui slowly stood up: "If the girl in purple insists on taking this Constable Qi away, what should I say if His Highness the Crown Prince asks?"

"How you report to your master is none of my business," Mo Ziyi said. "I simply dislike others taking the blame for me, therefore, this Constable Qi must be kept!"

Mo Ziyi didn't like being blamed by others, which was the reason she kept Lao Qi around!

Whether this reason is strong or not is another matter, the key point is that no one can object to it...

Bai Luoshui's gaze slowly turned to Zhou Wenju: "Brother Zhou, your talent is too great for the small land of Lingnan to contain. I wonder if you have any plans to go to the capital in the future?"

"Yes!" Zhou Wenju said.

"Brother Zhou's intention to travel to the capital is a fortunate event!" Bai Luoshui said, "I will gladly await your arrival!"

Sweep the couch and wait for me.

A polite remark among scholars.

However, at this moment, it was no longer a matter of politeness between scholars; it was clearly a declaration of war.

The meaning is clear: I'll be waiting for you in the capital, and then we'll settle the score!

"There's no need for such formalities!" Zhou Wenju said calmly. "If I were to go to the capital, I might be interested in witnessing His Highness the Crown Prince's timeless elegance, but I might not even notice what's lying at his feet. If I were to rashly promise Brother Bai anything, it would be impolite to forget who you are later!"
