Chapter 66: Turmoil in front of the palace
The book continued from the above, and the last book said that Li Tianxin, who had returned to Qianshan, saw that the medicine pavilion was crowded with people. Many of the outer disciples were injured, and even worse, lost their lives. Fortunately, the few people who traveled with them have been rescued, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. At the gate of Park Yuyuan, they met the old man of the Huan family who wanted to forcibly take away Huan Ting, and after some consideration, the matter was also resolved by Li Tianxin's wit, but for Tianxin's help, Huan Ting did not appreciate it, and finally parted ways. For those who were about to go to the Sanqing Hall to be questioned, several of them had their own thoughts. So it led to the mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch was behind.
Li Tianxin sorted out his clothes and stepped out of the threshold of the Mei Courtyard with his feet. In the middle courtyard of Pu Yuyuan, there are very few outer disciples waiting to go to the Sanqing Palace, and according to rough estimates, there are about forty people. However, there were many more stewards and some housekeepers, most of whom looked serious and had sad faces.
"Tianxin, this way." Hongying waved her hand to Li Tianxin's side.
Tianxin trotted over and stood between Hongying and Wei Jinhong. "The outer disciples are less than half at once?"
"yes, that's it, there's a bandage in there." Wei Jinhong sighed. "I can't imagine that the group stage is not finished, and half of it is broken."
"But this also shows from the side that we are very good." Hongying's optimism is absolutely natural, and she can always associate it with the bright side.
"I heard that this incident has alarmed the sect masters of the sect, and even the head of the sect is very concerned about this matter, I don't know if I will see the head of the sect in the Sanqing Hall for a while."
"What did you say?" As soon as Hongying heard the disciple in front of her say that there was going to be a big man, she immediately gossiped over. "Which sect masters are the head of the sect going to?"
Wei Jinhong and Li Tianxin, who were standing in place, looked at each other and smiled, sometimes they really envied Hongying. "In a while, in the Sanqing Palace, you know."
"Of course I do." Li Tianxin sighed. "I don't want to be an amnesiac girl and forget about you all when the time comes, but what should I do?"
"I don't know if Jin Yiming will appear in a while." Wei Jinhong seemed to be a little worried, after all, he was a disciple of the sect, and he was not in the same boat as them.
"It doesn't matter, he certainly doesn't want to tell what happened there, after all, he too has fallen under the spell. Besides, after getting along along this way, I still believe in his personality. Li Tianxin looked at the outer disciples standing in front. Do you think the person who poisoned him will be among us? ”
Wei Jinhong also looked around, and his eyes stayed on the few stewards and housekeepers for a few more moments. "I think people who know the time of the game and the housekeeping have a better chance of making a move."
"I think so too." Li Tianxin's eyes burned.
"Steward Lin, you're here." Everyone saw that Old Man Lin frowned, and hurriedly walked over. Behind him, followed by several sect disciples.
"Are you all ready?" Old Man Lin's expression was serious at the moment, which intensified the already tense atmosphere.
"I've asked them to stand according to the lineup of the team at the time of the group stage." Steward Fu paused. "It's just that a famous disciple said that he was not feeling well, stayed in the dormitory, and refused to come out."
"When has this been, you are still playing petty, you guys call people out quickly, the head of the sect and the sect masters are waiting in the Sanqing Palace, how can it be child's play?"
After less than a stick of incense, several stewards brought someone over, and the person was none other than Huan Ting. She reluctantly stood next to Tianxin and them, looking unfamiliar with you. Tianxin didn't say anything, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
"After a while, you will follow the steward and wait in the side hall of the Sanqing Palace, and when you are called to the Sanqing Hall for questioning, you must not look left and right, and you must not whisper, can you remember the etiquette you learned before?" Steward Lin looked at these outer disciples in front of him, a little worried.
"Disciple remember." The answers of the disciples were sparse, and they all lost their previous spirit.
"Remember?" Old man Lin was angry. "When you encounter such a setback, you will be discouraged and have no fighting spirit, you just roll down the mountain with all the rolls and roll down, and talk about what kind of demon removal and defense road, it's just a joke, tell me loudly!"
"Disciple remember!"
"Very good, all the stewards take your responsible disciples, line up, and you can go to the Sanqing Palace." Old man Lin turned his head to Li Tianxin and said a few words. "Come here, I'll take you guys."
Along the way, Huan Ting and Tianxin kept a long distance, if they didn't know, they thought she was a member of the previous group. Li Tianxin and the others were not reluctant, side by side with Old Man Lin, walking at the back of the crowd, and several of them muttered quietly. "So the spirit beasts in the forest of Little Wuxiang Peak are really crazy?"
"Anyway, along the way, we were attacked by various spirit beasts. What bone-eating kites, mountain spiders..."Li Tianxin pouted. "For a moment, I thought we were sent to Xiao Wuxiang Mountain to be used as fodder."
"Dead girl, with your body, you are still used as feed, and it is not enough to stuff your teeth." Old man Lin glanced at Tianxin. "Have you noticed any suspicious people?"
"Patronizing and fleeing for your life, how can you have time to meddle in things." Li Tianxin also gave Old Man Lin a roll of his eyes.
"You girl, you really have to repay it." Old man Lin saw that Tianxin was in a small mood, and couldn't help but look back at Wei Jinhong next to him.
"Suspicious person..."Wei Jinhong paused, he thought to himself, if he really said that he was suspicious, he would be the most suspicious of Jin Yiming, a good disciple of the sect, he had to pretend to be a disciple of the outer sect and participate in the selection. But the person who poisoned him was definitely not him, so it didn't hurt to say it. "The disciple really didn't notice..."
"Hmph, you guys are all in a hurry, and you still want to lie to me." Old man Lin snorted. "Isn't it just that kid Yiming, I didn't expect you to keep your promises."
"Uh..." Li Tianxin didn't expect that Old Man Lin actually knew about Jin Yiming, and immediately greeted Jin Yiming from top to bottom in his heart. She hurriedly smiled. "Hehe... I didn't think you knew..."
"According to the generation, he is also my junior brother, I don't know this bit of that kid yet." Old man Lin looked disdainful.
"Then can you say hello to Qingluan Zhenren, such an intelligent person, don't send him to be an undercover agent, okay, harm others and yourself!" Li Tianxin spoke earnestly, looking sincere and touching.
Wei Jinhong also kept nodding.
"That's it, that guy is not as smart as me, Qingluan really has a big heart." Hongying also interjected.
The other three looked at Hongying like monsters, and the subtext in their hearts can be imagined.
"However, I really want to thank you for saving my little junior brother's life." Old man Lin looked at Li Tianxin and them gratefully. "He told me a lot about the woods. Of course, it also mentions those things that can't be said, since it has nothing to do with poisoning, it's okay not to say it. ”
Li Tianxin was so smart, she naturally understood what Old Man Lin meant. First, don't expose Jin Yiming's identity. Second, don't talk about things that cause spells to ferment. This old man Lin was just testing them just now to see if they would tell them these things. "You old man, play tricks with us."
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, in case there are any of you who have a touching IQ, how will it end up then." Old man Lin meant something.
"No, look at what I'm doing, I didn't say anything." Hongying saw Old Man Lin's gaze drifting towards her, and suddenly lost her temper. "I'm telling you, don't underestimate me, I'm smart!"
"Yes, yes, you're the smartest." Old man Lin smiled perfunctorily.
"It's been like this for a long time, and I've only asked three groups of people, how long does it take?" Li Tianxin probed his head and looked at the team in front of him.
"This incident is the first time that such a serious problem has arisen in the selection of outer disciples since Qianshan opened the mountain." Old man Lin paused. "I can't disclose the number of casualties this time, but no matter what, Qianshan wants to give these disciples and their families an explanation."
"yes, I'm going to give them an explanation." Li Tianxin remembered the scene in the Medicine Pavilion and sighed leisurely.
After about an hour, it was finally their last group's turn. Tianxin followed Old Man Lin and came to the Sanqing Hall respectfully, and after a few people saluted, they all stood behind Old Man Lin in peace.
"This time, I think you must have also experienced it, for a while, you must answer the questions of the sect masters truthfully, and don't try to hide anything!" Qingluan saw that it was Li Tianxin and them, and his tone suddenly became a lot more severe.
"Yes."
"Don't be nervous, we're just going to find out what's going on." Compared with Qingluan Zhenren's-for-tat, Mingxue Zhenren is obviously much more pleasant.
Ram Yushu sat in the middle of the upper seat, did not speak, just looked at Li Tianxin quietly. In fact, as early as the moment she walked into the Sanqing Palace, his eyes never left her again. Seeing that she was safe and sound, the hanging heart was also put down.
Ye Yifan also changed his clothes, and still sat elegantly next to Yunfei Zhenren.
"Since that's the case, the disciple is not welcome. This is a long story, and I would like to ask you to be calm and impatient. Li Tianxin cleared his throat, as if he was commenting on a story. That said..."
Tianxin's eyebrows danced, and his mouth frothed. The sect masters sitting here all listened attentively to Li Tianxin's nonsense here, and the faces of individual sect masters also showed expressions of relish when listening to the book. A real person covers his mouth from time to time to hide his faux pas. When Ji Yunfei heard the bone-eating kite, he pinched a cold sweat. In addition to Qingluan, who has been watching coldly, even Ram Yushu also appreciates the eloquence of Tianxin.
Hongying and Jinhong were holding back a smile next to them, and even the old man Lin on the side lowered his head silently, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, thinking that this girl was really bold, and she dared to play smart in the Sanqing Palace, which was quite his demeanor back then.
"The above is what we experienced in Xiao Wuxiang Peak, if you have any questions, just ask." Li Tianxin bowed his hand, very respectful. Secretly proud in her heart, what she said just now can be said to be leaky, not only concealing Jin Yiming's identity, but also skillfully avoiding Wei Jinhong's life experience, of course, the most important thing is that she did not mention the tomb of the original head.
After listening to Li Tianxin's story, Old Man Lin couldn't help touching his beard, he sure enough, he didn't see the wrong person, this girl, brave and strategic, entered the Qianshan Sect in the future, and will become a great weapon in time.
Hongying and Wei Jinhong snickered in their hearts, anyway, the sect masters asked questions for a while, and they didn't worry about it, after all, they had already passed the qi just now, even if they asked again and again, they couldn't ask why.
Just when a few people thought that they could pass the test smoothly, Huan Ting, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke. "What the disciple knows is very different from what Li Tianxin said."
