Qi Ning did not deny it and said seriously: "On the way to Cangxi, although I was not sure that the Great Witch was the mastermind behind the scenes, I did have 600% doubts."

"Your suspicion is not unreasonable." The great wizard's voice was peaceful: "As the Miao family's great wizard, many people in Xichuan are willing to obey the orders."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "That's true, and the most important thing is that my trip to Cangxi was not on a whim, but someone carefully set up a trap, causing trouble to the east, and the witch testified may be the real murderer behind the scenes, but it is difficult for me to suspect the person who testified."

Speaking of this, Qi Ning glanced at Xiang Baiying slightly, and when she saw Xiang Baiying, she continued: "As the Great Wizard said, the Miao family lived in peace and passed down from generation to generation. The Great Wizards of all generations have taken the responsibility of guarding the peace of the Miao people as their mission. Therefore, when I came to Cangxi this time, I did not prepare to negotiate directly with the Great Wizard, but I was troubled by the leader of the Gang and the Great Wizard in detail."

"Are you trying to avoid direct conflict between the court and the Miao family?" The Miao family's great witch's voice softly: "The leader of Xiang Gang is a man in the martial arts world, so it is indeed more appropriate for him to come to see me."

Qi Ning said: "What I mean to the gang leader and me, whether the great witch is the mastermind behind the scenes or not, we should explain some of the interests to the great witch. If the Miao family's Seventy-Two Caves are really involved in the crime of rebellion, they will face an unprecedented disaster. It will naturally be considered a catastrophe for the Miao family's Seventy-Two Caves, and it will be an immeasurable disaster for the entire Chu State."

"Then are you still going to say this to me now?"

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "I understand one thing. If the Great Witch was the mastermind behind the scenes and I was bound to die in the stream and mountains, I would never be able to live and leave the Sun and Moon Peak half a step away." He stared at the mist opposite and said word by word: "So I can be very sure now that the Great Witch was not the mastermind behind the scenes. From the beginning, this was a trap. Their purpose was to provoke the fight between the Miao family and the court."

The opposite side was silent for a moment, and finally said: "The mastermind behind the scenes you mentioned is naturally someone else."

"That man is mysterious and mysterious. I only know that he is called Dizang. His subordinates have indeed gathered a group of evil demons and heretics, and his power is far more than Xichuan." Qi Ning sighed: "This man has great magical powers and is not only powerful, but also extremely wide. I even think that his people may have already penetrated the government and even the court."

The great witch said: "You said he wanted to provoke a confrontation between the Miao family and the court. Do you think about why the Ksitigarbha you said was doing this?"

"I cannot be sure of what purpose it is, but there are many possibilities." Qi Ning said: "What this person did is not just to make a corner of Xichuan turmoil. His purpose is likely to be to put the entire Chu State into turmoil. Once the Chu State is turmoil, it will be beneficial to many forces, and the Northern Han will be the first to be affected. So I thought that Dizang is likely to have something to do with the Northern Han. Although the Great Chu State has been established for many years, the north has not yet been settled, and even many forces in the Chu State have not really surrendered to the court. The East China Sea has the remnants of the aristocratic families that were back then, and Xichuan also has the power of Shu King Li Hongxin. Although these forces have surrendered to the court on the surface, they are always looking for opportunities to confuse the country in their hearts. Dizang has a clear understanding of the general trend of the world. He knows who should win over if he wants to be enemies with the court."

The great witch finally said: "The Miao family does not care about the disputes in the world. As long as the court can make the Miao family eat and wear a lot of clothes and wear, the Miao people will live in this land with peace of mind and will never be in a dilemma with the court. The forces such as the Northern Han, Dongqi, or the Donghai and Shu kings that the court cares about are not the Miao people who are willing to care about it."

Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said, "The Great Witch means that even if Dizang uses the seventy-two caves of the Miao family, you won't take it seriously?"

"I understand what you mean." The great wizard said: "Although the Miao people are simple in nature, they are not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. It is not that easy for some people to use the Miao people to make trouble. But what happened today is indeed something I didn't expect." After a slight pause, he said: "The former Da Miao King was killed, and Langchadulu and Dandugu brothers were fighting each other. That thing did not happen by chance. If Langchadulu had no one behind the scenes, he would not dare to attack Da Miao King."

Qi Ning said: "The Great Witch...has it been investigating that matter?"

"The murder of the Da Miao King is related to the safety of the 72 caves of the Miao family." The Great Witch said: "Although the Miao family is gentle by nature and does not like fighting, not all Miao people will do this. Throughout history, there will be some ambitious people in every ethnic group. For their own ambitions, they will put the world into turmoil and even bring their ethnic group into a situation that will never be restored."

Qi Ning opened her mouth slightly, but didn't say anything. Xiang Baiying stood by and didn't say anything from beginning to end.

"Although the 72 caves of the Miao family are divided into various parts of Xichuan, and there are conflicts between many villages, if they encounter disasters, they can advance and retreat together." The voice of the great witch is like a calm lake from beginning to end, calm, but gentle and gentle: "We can reproduce and survive in the Xichuan area, so that we can survive."

Qi Ning said solemnly: "Brothers and feet are the same, help each other and love each other."

"That's right." said the great wizard: "But just a few months ago, there was an exception. Does Master Qi still remember it?"

The great witch called Qi Ning the Lord, so naturally he already knew that Qi Ning was promoted to Duke of the Kingdom.

Qi Ning immediately said: "What is the Great Witch talking about the Black Lotus Sect?"

The voice of the great witch came: "The Black Lotus Sect is a sect founded by the Miao family. It has been active in the western border. Although they did not do anything to harm creatures, many of the rules of the Miao family were destroyed by them. Therefore, although most of the Black Lotus Sects are Miao family members, the Miao family's seventy-two caves never regarded them as their own people. The Shenhou Mansion led the eight gangs and sixteen sects to attack Chaowuling, and the Miao family's seventy-two caves did not act rashly."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "The Black Lotus Sect does not follow the rules of the Miao family and does not follow the laws of the court."

"But people still regard the Black Lotus Sect as the power of the Miao family." The great witch said: "If the Black Lotus Sect does something that harms the heavens and even violates the court, in the eyes of the world, it will not only be done by the Black Lotus Sect, but will even be regarded as done by the Miao family."

Qi Ning vaguely understood something and asked, "Great Witch, what do you mean is that Ksitigarbha is involved with the Black Lotus Sect?"

"The power you mentioned was noticed by Cangxi Miao Village a few years ago." The great witch said: "But that group of people acted extremely closely and did not commit any harm to the truth before. We are not very clear about their details." Youyou sighed: "In the eyes of the Miao people, the great witch of the Miao family is a god-like existence, but the great witch of the Miao family is just a mortal in the world, not a god, and cannot know everything in the world."

Qi Ning sighed in her heart, thinking that it may not be a good thing for a person to be regarded as a god. In order to maintain mysteries and majesty, the Miao witches of all generations lived in this deserted Sun and Moon Peak and could not sing and laugh with the people in the clan. Although they have a high status, they are as if they were imprisoned in this mountain peak, which is not a matter of happiness.

"I once thought about whether the Black Lotus Sect did what the Black Lotus Sect did behind the scenes." The Great Witch said slowly: "Among the seventy-two caves of the Miao family, there are actually a few people secretly having an affair with the Black Lotus Sect. What I have to do is to guard the seventy-two caves of the Miao family and not bewitched by the Black Lotus Sect. Therefore, people have been sending people to keep an eye on the movements of the Black Lotus Sect, and they have always suspected that the power of Xichuan is the backing of the Black Lotus Sect."

Xiang Baiying finally spoke, "In this way, the great witch thinks that Ksitigarbha is the leader of the Black Lotus Sect? The leader of the Black Lotus Sect wants to use the strength of the Miao family to rebel in Xichuan?"

The great witch said: "Judge Qi, you can report to the emperor that the Black Lotus Sect has nothing to do with Ksitigarbha. Ksitigarbha is definitely not a Miao family. I can defend that the Miao family, including the Black Lotus Sect, will not have any abnormal intentions towards the court."

Xiang Baiying frowned and said, "Why is the great witch so sure?"

The great witch sighed: "This is my reply to you when you are here to go up the mountain."

Qi Ning thought that the Miao family's great witch was sure of her words. It was natural that she could restrain the Miao family's seventy-two caves, but why did she guarantee that even the Black Lotus Sect would never have any abnormal movements? The Black Lotus Sect leader is one of the five great masters of the world and is a transcendent existence. Moreover, the Miao family's great witch said just now that although most of the Black Lotus Sect are Miao members, they do not abide by the Miao family's rules and are not recognized by the Miao family. In other words, the Black Lotus Sect cannot affect the Miao family's seventy-two caves, but the Miao family's great witch is also unable to issue orders to the Black Lotus Sect.

After all, the leader of the Black Lotus Sect is a great master. Although the Miao witch has a very noble status in the eyes of the Miao people, the leader of the Black Lotus Sect may not take the great witch seriously, and it is even more impossible to obey the great witch's instructions.

Since this is the case, why did the Miao family's great witch dare to protect the Black Lotus Sect? Could it be that the great witch had already had contact with the Black Lotus Sect in private, and the Black Lotus Sect also made any promises to the Great witch?

Qi Ning felt more and more that there was something strange about it, but he knew that if the great witch was willing to tell the truth, he would not have to ask, and the great witch would tell the truth. Since the great witch hadn't said much, even if he asked, there would be no answer.

"Didazang sent people to sneak into the stream and mountains and set up ambush at Sun and Moon Peak, but we didn't notice it. This is our negligence." The great witch sighed: "But Master Qi should have thought about why you came to Sun and Moon Peak. Since you know that the other party has set a trap for you from the beginning, then every step you will be in the other party's calculations. As you said, if you really die at Sun and Moon Peak tonight, the consequences will naturally be unimaginable. But have you ever thought that a person who is good at calculating can not only design how to advance, but also calculate how to retreat. Even if you have the certainty of success, such people will not leave a way out for themselves."

Qi Ning was stunned, only to feel that the words of the Great Witch were profound. After thinking for a while, he said, "Please let the Great Witch make it clear."

"Dixin Ksitigarbha can drive many powerful characters and cause storms in various parts of Chu State. He is naturally a calculating person." The great witch said slowly: "He designed to let you come to the Sun and Moon Peak, which is indeed to kill you, but he will definitely calculate what will happen next if he fails to assassinate. Have you ever thought about what arrangements he will make?"

"Dixiao is meticulous and has a deceitful plan. I'm sorry for being dull. What tricks does this person have next? It's really not easy to guess." Qi Ning smiled bitterly: "Actually, although I don't know who he is, I can still fight him many times. It seems that he has almost gained the upper hand every time, but he always deals with him with moves. He never understands his plan from beginning to end. Sometimes if I weren't lucky, I would probably have been crushed to pieces long ago."

"Do you know that if we do not take any precautions today, Dizang will probably know everything we say here tomorrow." The great witch sighed: "His cunning even exceeded my expectations."

Qi Ning was a little surprised and said, "Will he know? Could he... he have a clue?"
