Chapter 64 Compromise
After eating, the three of them were about to go to class, and when they were halfway there, they happened to run into Zhong Yuan.
After Zhong Yuan saw Chu Feng, he said directly: "Chu Feng, you come with me." ”
Feng Yuerong asked, "Teacher Zhong, what's wrong, is something wrong?"
Zhong Yuan said: "It's still about Ouyang Chuan, the identities of those two killers have been determined, they are students of the Holy Academy, they are students of Ouyang Chuan, so it seems that Ouyang Chuan instructed them to assassinate Chu Feng." ”
Feng Yuerong said angrily: "Hmph, sure enough, this Ouyang Chuan did it." ”
Zhong Yuan said: "Chu Feng, you can go with me now, go and explain to Dean Dongfang." ”
Chu Feng responded: "Okay, then let's go." ”
"I'll go too. ”
Feng Yuerong also wanted to go together, Zhong Yuan also agreed, and Tie Shan also wanted to go, but Zhong Yuan refused, so he had to go back to class honestly.
Zhong Yuan took the two of them to the conference room, where Dongfang Mo, Wang Fan and Ouyang Chuan were already there.
Seeing Chu Feng coming, Dongfang Mo said, "Since you are all here, let's talk about the matter carefully." Chu Feng, you will carefully explain the situation of your attack last night. ”
Chu Feng glanced at Ouyang Chuan and began to speak.
Over there, Ouyang Chuan listened to Chu Feng's story, his face became more and more ugly, and he began to think about it.
After Chu Feng finished speaking, Dongfang Mo said, "Ouyang Chuan, what else do you have to say now?"
Ouyang Chuan thought about it for a while, but still denied it, and did not admit that he instructed it at all, and now that the two killers are also dead, there is no direct evidence, so Ouyang Chuan still continues to quibble.
"Ouyang Chuan, I think you are deliberately killing people, and there is no proof to die, right?"
Wang Fan scolded Ouyang Chuan directly.
Ouyang Chuan said: "Master Wang, you can't wronged me like this, what evidence do you have to prove that I sent someone to assassinate Chu Feng." ”
Wang Fan said angrily: "Those two people are your students, can't you prove that it's difficult to fight?"
"Hahahaha, whoever said that they were my students, it must have been instructed by me, maybe it was Chu Feng who had an enmity with them, so he went to assassinate him. ”
"I don't know them at all, how can I have a grudge against them, it's clear that you instructed me, and you're still quibbling. ”
Chu Feng was also made angry by Ouyang Chuan's sophistry, what he had personally experienced, now Ouyang Chuan was still quibbling.
Ouyang Chuan said confidently: "It's true that they are my students, but they were not instructed by me, you don't have evidence, you can't just say that I did it." ”
After listening to their debate, Dongfang Mo finally spoke: "Ouyang Chuan, although there is still direct evidence to prove that it was you who instructed you, but the matter has been very clear, these things are definitely not such a coincidence, all the spearheads are pointed at you." There is also the matter of Miss Wang, we have already asked someone to see it, Miss Wang died under a magic weapon, and that magic weapon is your Buddha's hand. ”
At this time, Ouyang Chuan also began to panic a little.
Wang Fan couldn't sit still anymore, and roared angrily at Ouyang Chuan: "Ouyang Chuan, sure enough, you did it, I want you to pay for my daughter's life." ”
Looking at Wang Fan's posture, this was to find Ouyang Chuan desperately, Zhong Yuan hurriedly stopped him: "Master Wang, don't be angry first, this matter, our Holy Academy will handle it, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." ”
Wang Fan said angrily: "I will let him pay for his life now." ”
Dongfang Mo also came over to persuade him, and only then did he pacify Wang Fan.
At this time, Ouyang Chuan still didn't admit it, and said that these things had nothing to do with him, and now not only Wang Fan, but everyone else couldn't stand it, this Ouyang Chuan was really shameless to the extreme.
Dongfang Mo said: "Ouyang Chuan, although we can't directly convict you of the crime now, you must stay in the Holy Academy, you can't go anywhere, and after we find out, we will definitely deal with it impartially." ”
Ouyang Chuan said calmly: "Okay, I'm not allowed to go there, I'll just wait for you to give me a fair verdict." ”
Ouyang Chuan was restricted in his personal freedom and could only move in his own small courtyard, but he acted like a person who had nothing to do, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
In the evening, Xia Meng and Han Yuan came to the Holy Academy together, and after arriving at the Holy Academy, they went directly to Dongfang Mo.
As a prince, Xia Meng is in a high position, and Dongfang Mo can't help but respect him.
"Lord Wang, it's so late, why did you come to the Holy Academy, is there something wrong?"
Han Yuan said directly: "Dean Dongfang, the prince came here this time because of Ouyang Chuan's matter. ”
Dongfang Mo had a bad premonition, and then said: "Regarding Ouyang Chuan's matter, we have also investigated it clearly, and we haven't had time to tell the prince yet." ”
Chamon said: "No need, his affairs, this king is already clear, this time, this case, this king will personally intervene, and now this king will take him away." ”
Dongfang Mo hesitated, it seems that this time, Ouyang Chuan's matter is afraid that it will be difficult to handle.
"Lord Wang, Ouyang Chuan is the teacher of my Sect Holy Academy, and our Holy Academy is already dealing with this matter. ”
Han Yuan interrupted: "Dean Dongfang, you should also know who Ouyang Chuan is, speaking of which, Ouyang Chuan's affairs, our prince is the one who should have the most right to deal with, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Dongfang Mo is also very embarrassed, this Ouyang Chuan is Xia Meng is relative, counting, it should be Xia Meng's distant cousin, when Ouyang Chuan was able to enter the Holy Academy, it was also brought in directly by Xia Meng.
It is very difficult to be a teacher in the Holy Academy, at least to reach the realm of Sword Immortals, but the realm of Ouyang Chuan's Sword Emperor is teaching here, and it all depends on Xia Meng's relationship.
Xia Meng used to study Buddhism in Luo Kingdom, and later came to teach in the Buddhist Academy here, with a sharp mouth and royal background, he was very popular in the Holy Academy, and his personal image was also very good, but few people knew what Ouyang Chuan's private side was like.
Now, it is only natural that Xia Meng wants to take Ouyang Chuan away, but because he is afraid that Xia Meng will shield Ouyang Chuan, he is also in a dilemma for a while.
Seeing that Dongfang Mo was a little hesitant, Xia Meng said: "Dean Dongfang, Ouyang Chuan's king must be taken away, if you feel embarrassed, you can directly ask the saint for instructions, but I'm afraid that the saint will also agree to let this king take it away." Dean Dongfang, you are a reasonable person, Ouyang Chuan's matter, it is inconvenient for you to deal with it, if Dean Dongfang agrees to let this king take Ouyang Chuan, then this king will also promise Dean Dongfang to continue to keep the Taoist Academy. ”
After thinking about it left and right, Dongfang Mo really had no choice, Ouyang Chuan's matter, he had indeed done his best, Ouyang Chuan was Xia Meng's person, and he should be handed over to Xia Meng to deal with, it was better to compromise one step, in this way, he could still keep the Taoist Academy and the last inheritance.
"Lord Wang, Ouyang Chuan's matter, I will also report it to the body, if the saint agrees, then I will have no opinion. ”
"Hahahaha, Dean Dongfang is really abiding by the rules, it just so happens that this king has already brought the holy decree. ”
Then, Han Yuan took out a holy decree and handed it to Dongfang Mo.
Dongfang Mo saw the holy decree, and he also understood in his heart, Xia Meng had already asked the saint before he came, and this time, he also came prepared, and he must take Ouyang Chuan away.
Dongfang Mo looked at the content of the holy decree on both sides, and finally could only compromise.
"Well, since there is a decree from the saint, then I won't say anything, I'll take the prince to see Ouyang Chuan. ”
Subsequently, Dongfang Mo took Xia Meng and Han Yuan to the place where Ouyang Chuan lived.
Seeing Xia Meng coming, Ouyang Chuan hurriedly ran over as if he had seen a savior.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, you are finally here, please take me away quickly. ”
Xia Meng looked at Ouyang Chuan's appearance and snorted coldly: "It's really useless, and now I want this king to come to you in person." ”
Ouyang Chuan said with a flattering face: "Lord Wang, this time I didn't think it through, I will definitely change it, you can take me out of here quickly." ”
Xia Meng also looked down on Ouyang Chuan, if it weren't for his relationship with him, he really wanted to ignore him, this person was flamboyant, sleek, and a person who could be used, but it would definitely not be a big deal, so he could only run errands and deal with some inconvenient things for himself.
"Now, your affairs have been handed over to this king to deal with, come with me. ”
Ouyang Chuan was overjoyed, followed behind Xia Meng with gratitude, and then left swaggering in front of Dongfang Mo.
After Xia Meng took Ouyang Chuan away, Dongfang Mo sighed silently, and then walked towards the back mountain.
There was no one on the lake in the back mountain, and under the moonlight, the moonlight was reflected on the surface of the lake, the waves flickered, the fog rose, and there was some dreaminess, and everything looked so calm.
I don't know how long later, another person walked in the distance.
"You're here. ”
Dongfang Mo didn't look back, and said hello softly.
"You're here again in a daze. ”
The person who came was none other than Zhong Yuan.
Zhong Yuan arrived at the lake, stood side by side with Dongfang Mo, looked at the lake in front of him, and took a deep breath.
"You know what happened just now. ”
Zhong Yuan let out a "hmm", and then said, "I saw Xia Meng leave with Ouyang Chuan, so I guessed that you would come here." ”
"Will you blame me?"
Dongfang Mo asked lightly, as if he was asking Zhong Yuan, and as if he was asking himself.
After a while, Zhong Yuan said, "I don't know, if it were me, I might do the same." ”
Dongfang Mo sighed and exhaled deeply.
"There are some things that I have tried my best, but I still have to compromise with the world, and now, many things are beyond our control. ”
"I know, it's because of the affairs of the Taoist Academy. ”
Dongfang Mo didn't speak, but the meaning was already clear.
Zhong Yuan took two steps forward, then grabbed a small column of water with his hand, and then suddenly let go, and the water column immediately broke into droplets and fell to the surface of the lake, breaking the calm of the lake, and then returning to calm.
"You see, the lake is still so calm, you have to take shape, unless you can stir up all the waters. ”
Dongfang Mo looked at Zhong Yuan's actions just now and understood what it meant.
"You're right, but I don't have the ability now, and I can't stir all the lake water, and now, I'm afraid that even the Sword Saint seniors can't stir it. ”
"Senior, hey, the nine stars are misplaced, this catastrophe is finally coming, and I don't know how the Sword Saint predecessor is doing now, whether he can stop this catastrophe. ”
Dongfang Mo also took two steps forward, stood beside Zhong Yuan, looked at the calm lake, just stretched out his hand, but retracted it again.
"Now that the Dao Academy has declined, even the Holy Gate is withering day by day, I have met with the Deputy Gate Master of the Holy Gate before, and the Deputy Gate Master has also met the Sword Saint Senior for a long time.
Recently, there has been a series of turmoil in various parts of Kyushu, and the Holy Gate has sent almost all the disciples of the gate down the mountain, but so far, no one has returned, and there has been bad news that some disciples of the Holy Gate have been killed outside, and their bones are difficult to find. The Holy Gate has not yet recalled the other disciples. As for the news from the other disciples, the situation outside had exceeded expectations, and there was no way to get out at all, so they could only follow the teachings of the Holy Gate. ”
This is bad news, a fact that cannot be changed.
Zhong Yuan said worriedly: "You say, can this year's Taoist Academy still recruit students?"
Dongfang Mo said leisurely: "I don't know, I hope there is, the Daoist Academy has been broken for two years, and the current students of the Daoist Academy are about to leave, if they haven't recruited anyone, even if the Daoist Academy is not closed, it will be completely defeated." ”
Zhong Yuan said: "Otherwise, the standards of the Taoist Academy should be lowered, so that there may still be people, and there will be no fault." ”
"No, the standard of the Daoist Academy cannot be lowered, this is set by the predecessors of the Sword Saint at the beginning of the establishment of the Holy Academy, although there are not many people now, but this standard cannot be lowered. ”
Dongfang Mo said very resolutely, and he had thought about lowering the standard before, but in the end it didn't change.
"But if no one ...... this year"
Dongfang Mo sighed: "That means that the Daoist Academy has really come to an end." ”
"Hey......"
A sigh contains too much helplessness and unwillingness.
Under the moonlight, the two old men stood by the lake, silent, without time and space, like two statues, seeing through the scene of thousands of years.
