Chapter 54, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind

Dunhuang Pharmacist Guild, Lu Zhongnan was arrested by Ying Longwei into Yingtian City, everyone already knows, and Ying Tianwangfu has sent someone to inform the Pharmacist Guild.

The council hall on the top floor of the Xuanwu Tower, which is the meeting place of the highest power figures in the guild.

On the north side of the hall there are two seats, one for the president and one for the vice-president, and on either side are the seats for the elders.

I saw that Huangpu Jingtai and Dengfeng were already sitting in their respective positions, and other elders came one after another, but only Lu Guocai was nowhere to be seen. After a long time passed, the Imperial Mirror Terrace saw that the elders were basically in place, so he announced the opening of the council.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone must have known about this official document sent by Longwei, so I won't say more about the content, now let's talk about how to deal with this matter. The mirror platform looked at the elders and said.

He Qiong said: "President, this matter is Elder Lu's family matter, and it is inconvenient for us to interfere, so let's leave it to Elder Lu to handle it himself." ”

"Although Lu Zhongnan and others broke the law, although they are inseparable from the Lu family, these things were committed in the process of the new students' entry into the world, so the guild should respond. "The speaker's name is Zhang Feng, and he is close to Lu Guocai, so he naturally doesn't want the elders to fall into the trap of the Lu family.

The two elders on the side, Tian Guang and Zhou Tao, sneered, and Tian Guang said: "Elder Zhang Feng, if you say so, the disciples of my Medicine Master Guild will be responsible for all accidents, how will the guild gain a foothold in the cultivation realm in the future?"

"Brother Tian is right, if something happens to the disciples under their respective sects, their masters should bear it, and the guild will be bullying people if they bear it, so how will the prestige of the Pharmacist Guild exist in the future?" Zhou Tao answered.

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Elder Tian and Elder Zhou, as far as I know, the grandsons of the two of you have been very close to Elder Lu's nephew over the years, so they must have received a lot of benefits from the Lu family." A few months ago, the two grandsons of your family were put together by Lu Zhongnan, beaten by Xi Duoduo, and tied up on the rickshaw street, this incident must have made the two of you hate the Lu family to the core, so now that something has happened to the Lu family, you two are falling into the ground, right?"

Tian Guang originally didn't want others to mention this matter, and when his grandson Tian Liang was paraded on the street, he did have a grudge against the Lu family, but he would not fall into the ground. Now that Zhang Feng said this, he suddenly became angry and said: "What if we fall into the well? This is the Lu family's own effort, and we did not force Lu Zhongnan to kill people and break the law." ”

Zhang Feng said: "Lu Zhongnan is just greedy for a while, killing some people in the rivers and lakes, Elder Tian not only fell into the well for Lu Zhongnan, but also did not let Elder Lu go, isn't this the villain's doing?"

"Are you an adult?" Tian Guang was speechless.

After a while, Zhang Feng saw that no one was slandering Lu Guocai, and said, "Elder, I don't think I can put all the responsibility on Elder Lu for this matter, just go to these juniors in Lu Zhongnan." ”

Jingtai said: "According to what Elder Zhang said, how should we reply to the Ying Tianwang Mansion next?"

Zhang Feng said: "Elder, since this matter was caused by Lu Zhongnan and others, according to the guild's punishment regulations, they can be expelled from the guild, so that the reputation of the guild will not be affected in the slightest." ”

After Zhang Feng finished speaking, Qiu Chengfeng on the side laughed, and when the mirror platform saw this, he asked, "Why is Elder Qiu laughing?"

Qiu Chengfeng said: "I'm laughing at Elder Zhang for covering his ears and stealing the bell! Elder, if you really expel Lu Zhongnan and a few juniors from the guild, it will be a hundred and hundred, then how will the world view my Pharmacist Guild? First of all, Lu Zhongnan and the others know the law and break the law and kill innocents indiscriminately; second, they and their group pretend to be disciples of their own sect to commit murder, and their hearts can be punished; third, they want to put Xi Duoduo and his party to death and kill each other in the same sect, which is unbearable. ”

"As the saying goes, the son is not strict with the father's laziness, and the vain is not strict with the teacher, but now the disciple kills people, but the master is alone, is this still the master? Does this still need a teacher? Before this freshman experience, I passed by Elder Lu's Dao Ling Terrace, how he taught the disciples, I am afraid that many elders here know it, so I will not say more. I just want to ask, Elder Zhang Feng, you and Elder Lu are brothers and sisters, why don't you want to take the blame for Elder Lu?"

Zhang Feng was interrogated by Qiu Chengfeng like this, and said nervously in his heart: "This matter was done by Elder Lu's disciples, what does it have to do with me?"

Qiu Chengfeng seized the opportunity and said, "Since it is a matter for Elder Lu's disciples, why does Elder Zhang repeatedly protect Elder Lu's mistakes? Could it be that you have accepted his benefits and are willing to disgrace the guild and protect him thoroughly?"

"Haha, what Elder Qiu said is extremely true! Elder Zhang Feng must have accepted Elder Lu's benefits, otherwise he would not have repeatedly protected Elder Lu. Elder, please don't listen to Elder Zhang. Tian Guangda said with a smile.

Zhang Feng hurriedly denied it: "Elder Tian, don't spew blood, I really didn't accept any benefits from Elder Lu. ”

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Huangpu Jingtai said, "Okay, everyone don't quarrel." Elder Lu is not strict in disciplining his disciples, and he should be punished, and he will be removed from his position as an elder from now on. ”

After the meeting was dismissed, the elders returned to their respective caves. After Tian Guang returned to his cave mansion, he planned to refine a furnace of rejuvenation pills to replenish it, but at this moment, Cao Cong arrived, and he knocked on the door and entered.

"Disciple to meet the teacher!" Cao Cong saluted.

Tian Guang said: "Get up, I don't have so many false courtesies here." Tell me, what's the matter with coming back?"

Cao Cong said: "Mentor, the disciple was trained in Hongcheng before, and when he was looking for the nine-leaf clover in Yinshan, he was almost murdered by Elder Lu's personal disciples and disciples, but fortunately, Tutor Xuanhua's disciple Xi Duoduo rescued him, so he was saved from death." However, Cao Rong's junior brother failed to escape this catastrophe and was killed by Huang Kui and others. Later, Xi Duoduo bluntly said to the apprentice that this Huang Kui and the others were traitors from the Demon Sect who broke into my Pharmacist Guild, and the specific plot was unknown. ”

After listening to the other party's words, Tian Guang suddenly grabbed Cao Cong's collar and said, "What you said is true?"

"It's true!"

"Haha, okay, great! Lu Zhongnan is finished, and Lu Guocai can't escape this time. You go down first, and go back as soon as you go for the teacher. After speaking, Tian Guang left the cave, and then went directly to the Xuanwu Pagoda to find the Huangpu Mirror Terrace, and told the identity of Huang Kui and the others truthfully.

After listening to this, Huangpu Jingtai hurriedly contacted Ying Tianwang's Mansion, and after confirming the accuracy of the news, he immediately announced that Lu Guocai would be expelled from the guild.

Lu Guocai was not in the guild, and when he heard that he no longer belonged to the guild, he reluctantly left Dunhuang City.

......

In Yinshan, Duoduo has been converging with He Xiang and others for more than seven days. During this time, the seven people could not hide, waiting for the time to come.

The Yin Wind Beasts of Yin Mountain did not always guard the Nine Clovers, they would return to the ground every three days to absorb the Yin Qi in the mountains.

You must know that the Yin Wind Beasts are earth-based demonic beasts, they have been suspended in mid-air for a long time and separated from the earth for too long, like duckweed without roots, they cannot exist for a long time, and only by sucking the aura in the soil every once in a while can they continue their life.

In the same way, the same is true for magical beasts such as snow wolves and earth ice bears, which is also the reason why magical beasts of the same species like to gather in a certain area.

Duoduo and his party had already figured out this habit of the Yin Wind Beast, and they were waiting patiently. After most of the Yin Wind Beasts have dived underground, they will move quickly and take the Nine-Clover.

There were also a few lurking squads that were more anxious than Duoduo's group, and when they saw that the Yin Wind Beast began to dive underground, they immediately took action, fearing that they would fall behind the other squads, and finally the spirit grass would be taken away by others.

Dugu Haoji's team was one of them, and he saw the Yin Wind Beast sneaking into the ground, and quickly approached the Nine Clover with his fellow disciples. At this time, they were still eighty meters away from the spirit grass, and they only needed one sprint to reach their destination.

Seeing that there were still thirty Yin Wind Beasts guarding near the nine-leaf clover, Dugu Hao saw a rare opportunity and said loudly: "Rush!"

With his order, the team members couldn't wait to rush forward.

Seeing the enemy attacking, the Yin Wind Beast immediately surrounded it, and then launched an attack on Dugu Haoer's team.

Not only are these beasts fanged, but their long manes are not to be underestimated. Their mane is three meters long and swings like a leather whip. What's even more frightening is that they fly extremely fast, making it difficult to capture their trajectory. Before, Cao Cong's team was a light enemy, and they were beaten by the Yin Wind Beast and had no power to fight back, and finally fled.

Dugu Haoer took out the peachwood spirit sword, slashed left and right, and didn't hit it a few times, mostly to drive away this beast.

"Everyone be careful!" Dugu Haoji said loudly. In his opinion, he could barely cope with the attack of the Yin Wind Beast, and the team members were even more difficult to resist.

Just as Dugu Haoji's team was hurriedly fighting against the attacking Yin Wind Beast, another stealth team had approached the Nine Clovers, and they wanted to sit back and enjoy it. The captain of this team is named Fan Jian, and he is cheap enough, so I saw him smiling and leading the team to start picking spirit grass.

At this moment, another team also touched it, the captain of this team was named Xu Jun, and his team took advantage of Fan Jian's team to pick spirit grass, and took out the spirit sword to kill people and seize goods.

"It's a good trick for the praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind! Cannibalism is for this benefit, it's really pitiful and pathetic!" Duoduo couldn't help but sigh.

He Xiang said: "The cultivation realm is like this, the weak eat the strong, cannibalism, brothers turn against each other, and husband and wife betray, aren't these all common things?"

Duoduo nodded and continued, "Xiang'er, will you betray me one day?"

"I don't know, maybe not!" He Xiang responded. Her broken heart has not yet been fully repaired, and although she married Duoduo, it is difficult for a woman to recover from a broken heart.

Duoduo said: "If you don't dislike it, I won't give up." Okay, let's not talk about this tangled topic. Let's wait to see the show!"

He Xiang nodded, and then the group prepared to fight.

Xu Jun's team swung the spirit sword and stabbed the knife behind Fan Jian's team, and Fan Jian's team was killed three without noticing for a while. When the others saw that their companion was dead, they immediately rushed forward, and then dodged the assassination of the spirit sword.

Seeing that his figure was exposed, Xu Jun simply showed his appearance to fight against him.

"Xu Jun, you are despicable!" Fan Jian said resentfully.

Xu Jun smiled and said, "What is despicable? If you know each other, get out of here and leave the spirit grass for me. ”

"Don't think about it! Fan Jian said and raised his sword to kill. This is a never-ending game, and it is already doomed from the moment Xu Jun secretly kills him.

The cultivation of the two of them was in the early stage of enlightenment, and they fought equally. However, Fan Jian's team was reduced by three people, and it was a little difficult to face Xu Jun's complete team at this time.

Just when Fan Jian's team and Xu Jun's team were fighting, Dugu Haoer realized that he was too impulsive, and when he saw that there were still four companions left around him, he said loudly: "Let's withdraw, we won't take this spirit grass." ”

Dugu Hao and the others left, and the Yin Wind Beast then turned back to deal with Fan Jian and Xu Jun's team. The Yin Wind Beast didn't care whether the two were hostile or not, and as soon as they came up, they started a war against both sides at the same time.

The battle between these three parties was too chaotic, but fortunately, there were not many Yin Wind Beasts, only a dozen left.

Fan Jian said: "Xu Jun, you despicable villain, you have the book to deal with the Yin Wind Beast first, and then you and I will score another point." ”

"That's very good! Then it depends on who kills the most, and who ends up with the spirit grass. ”

Fan Jian was silent and agreed.

Next, the two squads temporarily put aside their prejudices and fought against the Yin Wind Beast together, and there were not many Yin Wind Beasts left, and they were all killed in a short time.

Xu Jun saw that the Yin Wind Beast was gone, and said, "Fan Jian, we killed this beast the most just now, so this spirit grass belongs to us." ”

Fan Jian smiled secretly and said, "Yes, it depends on whether you have the life to take it away." ”

Xu Jun didn't get angry when he saw Fan Jian cheating, and said, "What, if you're not convinced? ”

Then the two sides fought together, and Fan Jian's team lost to Xu Jun's team in numbers, and even if they fought again, they were not the opponent of Xu Jun's team.

Seeing that he was invincible, Fan Jian showed weakness and said: "Xu Jun, count you ruthless!"

"Let's go!"

Then Fan Jian quickly left with the team.

Seeing that no one was bothering him, Xu Jun prepared to order the team to collect spirit grass. At this moment, Duoduo and a group of seven people appeared.

When Xu Jun saw Xi Duoduo coming, he was surprised: "Are you Xi Duoduo?"

Duoduo smiled and said, "That's right, it's me!"

Xu Jun said: "You also want to snatch the spirit grass?"

Duoduo said: "It's not us, it's us and them!"

Saying that, Duoduo pointed to a no-man's land, where there was no one to be seen, and Duoduo's actions undoubtedly told Xu Jun that there were other people besides Duoduo and his party.

"Who is it, get out of here!" Xu Jun scolded loudly.

The person who came couldn't hide it, so he showed his figure, and the person who came was Huang Kui, Cui Jian, Zhuang Yi, and Zhuang Qiu.

"Huang Kui, why are you here too?" Xu Jun was even more surprised at this time. The first and second place freshmen of the Medicine Master Guild are here, does his team still have any hope of obtaining spirit grass? Obviously not.

Huang Kui didn't pay attention to Xu Jun, but looked at Duoduo and said, "Xi Duoduo, I didn't expect you to be able to see through our stealth method, admire and admire!"

Duoduo smiled and said, "How can you hide from me with just this little trick? You underestimate me too much." Tell me, how are you going to die?"

Huang Kui said: "Hehe, Xiduoduo, you are really humorous." You and I are geniuses, so we should sympathize with each other, why bother to make you die?"

Xu Jun saw that Xi Duoduo and Huang Kui were not friends, but hostile relations, and hurriedly said: "We will participate in the hatred of the two, farewell!"

After speaking, he wanted to take someone away, but was stopped by Cui Jian.

"Leave the spirit grass behind!" Cui Jian said coldly.

Xu Jun wanted to fight for it, but seeing that Huang Kui didn't take him seriously at all, he felt weak, so he ordered the team to leave the spirit grass behind, and then left quickly. Cui Jian didn't stop them and let them go.

Cui Jian put the spirit grass into his storage bag openly, as if he didn't pay attention to Duoduo at all.

Duoduo saw this and said: "You people of the Demon Sect are really arrogant, it seems that if I don't get rid of you, I'm really sorry for the people in the world." ”

Huang Kui said: "The people of my Demon Sect have always behaved like this, dare to act, unlike those so-called famous and decent people, who boast of supporting justice and are bent on eradicating my Demon Sect, but the final outcome is either destroyed or falling apart, it is really sad and pitiful!"

Duoduo stopped talking nonsense, pulled out the Xuantie Spirit Sword, and then mobilized the spiritual power in his body to infuse the Spirit Sword. He was going to kill himself with Huang Kui's spirit sword and let him bring humiliation upon himself.
