Chapter 19: The Scourge of the Elixir

"I, Qin Lie, naturally kneel when I should kneel, if I don't want to kneel, unless you kill me! Today, I respect Xia Shi's Dharma Protector as the clan elder, I am highly respected, and I am willing to kneel and bow, not that I have to kneel when I do something wrong, I hope Xia Shi Dharma Protector will act impartially!"

Qin Lie's voice was loud, with a sense of righteousness, and he competed with Xia Shi without fear.

"Qin Lie, do you know where this place is, dare to spread wilderness in the clan hall, and regard the clan law as nothing, but you have to punish it severely, are you still unwilling to admit your sins?" Xia Shi grimaced, his expression angry.

"Then ask Xia Shi Dharma Protector to make it clear, what is Qin Lie's mistake?" Qin Lie asked rhetorically.

"What a Qin Lie, I really don't know how to repent when I die!" Xia Shi laughed angrily, his eyes were cold: "You have three crimes, the first is that you have no master, Miss once ordered everyone in the palace to collect dew and ice spirit cold python cores to forge the Divine Frost Sword, but you are lazy to rest, and you have not picked dew several times, so you should be punished!"

"The second case, the same clan is not allowed to kill each other, contempt for the clan rules, but you beat Xia Feng and cut off one of his arms, everyone knows, what else do you have to say!"

"The third case is also an unforgivable crime, you took advantage of the young lady's outgoing experience, sneaked into the palace treasure house in the middle of the night, and stole the Juyuan Pill! This is the indispensable elixir for the young lady's cultivation, but it was stolen by you, if it wasn't for Tu Mo and the others to find out in time, I'm afraid you would have succeeded a long time ago, and you still dared to quibble when you died.

"Yes!"

The two guards strode forward, holding a silver sword in their hands, and approached with a grim expression.

"Slow!" Qin Lie shouted angrily, he had been holding back, just to avoid falling into the trap of Xia Heng and the others, but now seeing Xia Shi's attitude, his expression quickly turned cold, and an unapproachable momentum was released, which immediately made the two guards look shocked and forgot to move.

Qin Lie's face was cold, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said loudly: "If I, Qin Lie, do something wrong, I should be open-minded and willing to be punished, but ......" Qin Lie snorted, and looked at Tu Mo and Xia Heng with cold eyes. Xia Heng and Tu Mo had ghosts in their hearts, so they didn't dare to look at him, so they couldn't help but bow their heads.

"If anyone wants to frame me and frame me, I, Qin Lie, will never give in. If anyone forces me, it will be a big battle!" Qin Lie's tone was sonorous and powerful, extremely loud, like Hong Zhong Da Lu, every word was full of majestic majesty, sweeping the entire clan hall like a storm crashing on the shore.

"Poof!"

Tu Mo, Xia Heng, and Xia Shi suddenly changed their complexions drastically, their bodies were hit hard, and the corners of their mouths were bleeding!

At the same time, Xia Menglan's face also changed, and she immediately sealed her hands, her luck concentrating, as if she was resisting the invasion of some mysterious force.

After a long time, she calmed down, but seemed to have consumed a lot, and there she gasped for breath and muttered to herself. "Hao Qi is upright, it turns out to be Hao Qi and ...... righteousness"

And the guards who had always been expressionless suddenly changed their faces one by one after Qin Lie's words came into their ears, and they couldn't stop wailing.

Seeing this scene, Qin Lie was also a little surprised, what happened? he just said a few words, why did they all seem to have been hit hard?

But after a while, Qin Lie suddenly felt happy in his heart: "Could it be that this is the power of Haoran's righteousness?"

In this world, there are not only monks, but also a mysterious group of people, they are hidden in the city, they are powerless, but they are capable of fighting against monks, they use literature as martial arts, pen as soldiers, and step out of another way, alternative enlightenment!

They are called Confucian scholars!

Righteous people, adhering to the fortune of heaven and earth, read the four books and five classics, strategize, and win thousands of miles away. This kind of person, with a kind of heroic righteousness all over his body, when it seeps out, is like a big wave rolling, sweeping the heavens and the earth, and even the monks dare not shake it.

This is the righteousness of Haoqi!

Some people are born with Haoran righteousness, this kind of person is destined to be a generation of sages, the name is above history, of course, there are also people who are born after tomorrow, they stick to their bottom line, hoe the strong and help the weak, and over time they have given birth to Haoran righteousness.

Qin Lie, the latter, was cultivated the day after tomorrow, and his righteousness was added, which gave him a lot of confidence.

"Xia Shi Protector, you said that I neglected the Lord, mutilated my fellow clansmen, and stole pills, if you can answer my question, I will be willing to suffer any punishment!"

Without waiting for Xia Shi to agree, Qin Lie's dazzling eyes seemed to be suddenly filled with endless magic power! ”

"Hmph, I'd like to hear what happened to you. Xia Shi's eyes widened angrily, Qin Lie's slight words just now actually shocked his heart, and his dantian was damaged, which really made him angry.

He is an old man of the clan and respected, who would dare to talk to him like this in normal times? But now there is such a person who is on the bar with him.

"Just evaluate it according to this?" Qin Lie sneered and said: "There are many ways to collect dew and beast cores, but there is a more direct and effective way, and that is to rob it! If the strength is stronger than others, even if it is to rob other people's things, who would dare to have half a complaint? Isn't it, Brother Tu?"

"Qin Lie, don't slander me because I have always cared about you! When did I rob your beast core?" Tu Mo blurted out in a hurry, and after finishing speaking, he realized that he had leaked his mouth, and stared at Qin Lie with a resentful expression: "Qin Lie, you yin me!"

"I didn't say anything. Qin Lie looked at Tu Mo deeply.

"Xia Shi's protector can't be gullible, Qin Lie is messing around, talking nonsense, it is obvious that he is deliberately diverting our attention, not to mention, it is now that we are interrogating him, not him interrogating us. Seeing that Qin Lie was faintly showing signs of getting out for himself, Xia Heng hurriedly reminded him.

Xia Shi's face was pale, and he was about to say something, but was interrupted by a cold voice.

"Clan Elder, let the first charge pass like this, I just want to know why my Juyuan Dan fell into your hands. Xia Menglan said lightly.

Xia Shi snorted for a while, and didn't say anything more, since Xia Menglan had spoken, he could only compromise, his eyes glanced at Qin Lie coldly, and he said angrily: "Then tell me, why did Miss's Juyuan Dan fall into your hands, if you can't explain it clearly, the crime will be added to the first." ”

Tu Mo and Xia Heng's hearts tightened, but they relaxed and stared at Qin Lie coldly, with a sneer on the corner of their mouths, looking like they were in control of the overall situation.

Stealing the elixir is a big crime, not to mention that Xia Menglan is about to break through the retreat, Qin Lie will definitely be punished by the clan.

"Hehe, Qin Lie, aren't you very good at quibbling? Aren't you arrogant and upright? Why don't you say it, I want to see if you can talk about the three crimes with your incorruptible tongue today!" Tu Mo stepped forward and said coldly, obviously ill-intentioned.

Qin Lie's eyes were bright when he heard this, and he didn't look scared at all, but smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said to Xia Menglan: "Dare to ask Miss, who told you that this Juyuan Dan was lost?"

"Naturally, it is Xia Hengda's protector. Xia Menglan said puzzledly.

Qin Lie's smile became even worse, and his voice suddenly raised a little: "That's it, how did Xia Heng and Tu Mo know that I took Miss's pill?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Lie saw that Xia Heng's face instantly became stiff.

Without waiting for Xia Heng to argue, Qin Lie took the lead and said: "That's just a one-sided statement between the two of them, it can't be true, why can't it be that I have a grudge against them, they stole the pill and then blame me?"

"Miss, don't believe Qin Lie's words, these days, Tu Mo and I have been helping in the clan hall, Xia Shi Protector can testify, since we are in the clan hall, how can Tu Mo and I have the kung fu to go to the palace treasury?" Xia Heng immediately retorted.

"Yes, the clan ratio has passed, the New Year is coming to an end, it is the busiest time in the house, the house and the house are preparing for the upcoming hunting competition, Xia Heng and Tu Mo are indeed helping to take care of it in the clan hall, Qin Lie, what else do you have to say?" Xia Shi shouted sharply.

"Oh, yes? Then ask the Protector of Xia Shi to answer my question. Qin Lie smiled brightly, not panicking at all: "The treasure house of the palace is an important place, only the descendants can enter, and there are heavy guards, I am a disciple of the lineage, why bother to do this?"

As soon as Qin Lie's words came out, Xia Heng and Xia Shi's faces changed for a while, while Xia Menglan was rippled in her heart, her eyes were shining with cold light, and she said in a deep voice: "Xia Heng, what's going on?"

"Miss, this is Qin Lie's cunning, knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, sometimes what you see and hear on the surface is often not true. Xia Heng spoke very sincerely.

"Yes, Miss, this is exactly what we need to investigate, how did this kid sneak into the treasure house and steal the pill under heavy guards?" Xia Shi said awe-inspiringly.

"Miss, if nothing else, Ju Yuan Dan is in his yard. Xia Heng spoke again at this time, facts speak louder than all words.

As soon as these words came out, Qin Lie suddenly realized that the two had already been embarrassed and colluded together, I am afraid that no matter how they justify themselves, they will still find a way to trap themselves in injustice.

Sure enough, Xia Shi's next sentence made Qin Lie affirm his thoughts.

"No need, at the same time as the interrogation, I had already sent someone to search his courtyard, and I had already found an elixir. He spoke gloomily, with a chill.

"Protecting the Dharma wisely, discerning!" Tu Mo hurriedly flattered.

Qin Lie's eyes were cold, listening to the conversation between Xia Shi and Xia Heng, Qin Lie suddenly felt that the situation was not good, he didn't expect Xia Shi to act so well.

"Present it. ”

Xia Shi let out a loud shout, and soon, a guard stepped forward, holding a pill in both hands.

It was the size of a dragon's eye, smooth as jade, and exuded an amazing medicinal fragrance, Xia Menglan glanced at it, bowed her head slightly, and said, "Yes, this is the Juyuan Pill I lost." ”

"Qin Lie, what else do you have to say!" Xia Shi smiled slyly and pointed at Qin Lie and asked.

"If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, you and Xia Heng are angry, won't you make me soft?" Qin Lie sneered lightly, his expression cold.

Seeing Qin Lie's softening, Xia Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face was righteous and awe-inspiring, "Thirteen righteous sons Qin Lie, the crime is heinous, stealing the elixir of the young lady, according to the clan rules, the punishment is served!"
