Chapter 24: The Oath
Xue Lihua was on the head, and he didn't care too much, but the disciples around him were obviously very dissatisfied with this perfunctory reply, and some people couldn't help but want to ask for details, but saw Xue Lihua patting Lin Yuan's shoulder, still smiling happily, and said: "It doesn't matter if he is lucky or not, he wins anyway, if the master knows about this news, maybe he will be happy, let's go, see the master." As he spoke, he picked up Lin Yuan and squeezed out of the crowd with a look of expectation, leaving everyone stunned and unclear.
The specifications of the Yanwu Hall are not large, but the layout is much more complex than other halls. In addition to the audience platform built along the wall of the mountain, there are more places for the disciples and elders of each academy to rest at the time of the big competition, and the elder's room and disciple's room are scattered in various places, and there are more than 20 places.
Xue Lihua took Lin Yuan and walked through the various paths with ease, and along the way, I saw that the disciples of the various academies participating in the competition were also waiting here.
This situation is especially emotional.
After a short time, the two came to a side hall, the front door of the hall was wide open, in addition to the people of Cangmu Courtyard, Zhu Liangchou was also among them, but I don't know who made him angry, he was out of breath pacing back and forth in front of the hall, and his old face was also flushed. In addition, although Zhuang Xuanhuo and Ji Yang and Ge Qing were sitting, they were dull and silent, and their faces were not very good-looking.
In the silent hall, only the rough and heavy breathing of the two elders was heard. When he came in, Lin Yuan felt that the atmosphere was very wrong, but Xue Lihua didn't seem to notice it, as soon as he entered the door, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and after a slight salute, he said excitedly: "Master, our Cangmu Academy won the first round of this competition. ”
"Well, I know, let's sit down when you come. Zhuang Xuanhuo didn't care, and replied casually, but he didn't see the following.
Xue Lihua was stunned for a moment, and then reminded: "Master, our academy is a complete victory, a complete victory! This is the first time. ”
"All wins. Zhuang Xuanhuo was stunned, then he reacted, and asked Lin Yuan: "Ah Yuan, is it possible that you also won?"
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, Master, the disciple is also a fluke." ”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they were surprised, and even Zhu Liangchou, who was angry and angry, looked up and looked incredulous.
I thought that Zhuang Xuanhuo would be relieved by this, but he was still very happy, but he asked anxiously: "It's actually a victory, come over and let the teacher see, but have you been injured?" ”
"Poof..."Zhu Liangchou suddenly squirted out a sip of hot tea that he had just drunk, and he glanced at Zhuang Xuanhuo angrily. The disciples were embarrassed for a while, but they were used to it.
Lin Yuan said helplessly: "Master is tired, the disciple won lightly this time, and he was not injured. ”
"Huh!?" Zhuang Xuanhuo didn't believe it, and said: "It's not an ordinary disciple who can participate in the academy competition, how can you still win lightly." ”
Lin Yuan paused, and after thinking about it for a while, he talked about the process of this competition from beginning to end, and talked about it awkwardly in this hall.
It's okay not to listen to this, but after listening to it, I only heard a sound of "pop!", but it was Zhu Liangchou who slapped his palm on the desk in front of him.
"The wind is going down, the door is going down, those who sell fake drugs, those who gamble in public, and those who show love to their elders, it's really... It's so annoying to me..."
Zhu Liangchou was furious, his face was very embarrassed, and no one in the hall dared to speak.
Zhuang Xuanhuo hurriedly got up and persuaded: "Senior brother, stop being angry! Why be angry about these little things, these dolls are just for fun, just give a little warning, why be so angry." ”
Zhu Liangchou was so angry that he said angrily: "This courtyard is a grand event in the door, and these three things happened on the first day, one after another, how can I not be angry!"
Zhuang Xuanhuo shook his head and sighed, walked up to hand over a cup of hot tea in person, and said: "I believe that Xuanyi and they will handle these things properly, and you are also clear about Ji Yang's Taoism, who among the young people in the door can have a hundred tricks with him, why bother yourself about this, you and I are old, so don't bother about these trivial matters." ”
Zhu Liangchou drank a few sips, his mood seemed to be calm, and he eased up, and said: "You are relieved, and it is okay to set up gambling and sell medicine, but I have to take care of Ji Yang and Qing Xuan's girl's appointment of 100 tricks, not to mention the outcome of this matter, if this kind of behavior is spread, it is enough to make fellow believers laugh, and I don't know how Gu Lengling's girl taught her apprentice, Qing Xuan, a junior, actually showed her love to the elders in front of all the disciples in the door, and now there is a lot of criticism and discussions, it's just nonsense!" After speaking, he sighed to himself, quite a headache.
Zhuang Xuanhuo didn't know what to say, shook his head and sighed, and sat back down.
For a while, the hall was lifeless again, listening to Zhu Liangchou sigh from time to time, after a while, Ji Yang couldn't help but get up and said: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, this hundred tricks are agreed, the disciple will never let you down, let alone embarrass the master." ”
Zhu Liangchou said: "That's good, but this matter is not trivial, don't blame the master for reminding him that this hundred tricks of the covenant, not to mention whether Qing Xuan can take it, even if it is next, it is absolutely impossible for the two of you, there is something incestuous and incestuous things, and the master will never tolerate it." ”
Ji Yang Shen said: "The words of the master, the disciple remembers. ”
But Zhu Liangchou didn't seem to be at ease, and said in a heavy voice: "Can you make an oath!"
Ji Yang was stunned when he heard this, but he hesitated.
"Senior Brother Zhu, you ......"
Zhuang Xuanhuo was about to speak out against it, but Zhu Liangchou stretched out his hand to stop him.
Ignoring the gazes of the disciples, Zhu Liangchou said again: "Ji Yang, can you make an oath?"
The hall was silent, especially silent. Ji Yang hesitated for a while, and remained silent for a long time, his expression seemed to be sad, like struggling, and in the struggle, there was a strong sense of worry.
He himself is still forced to be so forced, and he doesn't know what kind of situation Qing Xuan, the initiator, is in at this moment.
"The sky is above, the thick earth is proof, no matter what the covenant is, the disciple Ji Yang will never have any emotional entanglement with Qing Xuan, if not. People and gods abandon together, and they will not die well!"
In the end, every word seemed to weigh tens of millions of catties, but it still came out of Ji Yang's mouth, and after speaking, he was stunned in place, as if he had lost his soul. And all the disciples saw it in their eyes, they were silent for a while, and they had been with Ji Yang for many years, and they were the most empathetic, no matter who they were, they would never feel good at the moment.
Zhu Liangchou nodded, finally put his mind at ease, didn't say more, sat down quietly, and for a while, no one spoke.
Before I knew it, half an hour had passed, and at this time, the familiar bell rang again, which was the sound of the end of the first round of competition. After a while, a disciple came running and said, "Two masters, uncles, the list of the second round of the competition has come out." After speaking, he handed a note to the nearest Ge Qing, and hurriedly retreated.
Ge Qing opened it and quickly found the names of all the people in Cangmu Courtyard from this list, and slowly read out the information about everyone's match, but when he read Ji Yang's name, he suddenly paused, and his face was bitter.
Ji Yang was stunned, took the list in his hand, and when he found the column to which his name belonged, his heart suddenly tightened, like falling into an ice cave.
I saw that it was written: No. 24 sign, Ji Yang vs. No. 15 sign, Qing Xuan!
