Chapter 62: Longtan Tiger's Den
As soon as she was gone, I was silent.
This Tianshifu is really a tiger's den in Longtan, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time.
No, it's better to find out Master's whereabouts quickly and leave this place. If this continues, I see that I will be killed by the people of this place before I am first wanted.
Sure enough, the next morning, before dawn, when the Daystar had just risen, my door was slammed with a "pop", and I almost didn't scare out the heart attack.
When I opened the door, an old woman with a meaty face was standing at the door, and when she saw me, she asked fiercely, "Why haven't you gotten up yet?" What time is it? Really be your eldest lady, so able to sleep! ”
What's going on?
Is it abusing me like on TV? Do you want me to be a cow and a horse for the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and do laundry and cooking?
I said calmly: "What's the matter?" ”
When the old woman with a face full of meat heard this, she seemed to think of something, straightened her waist and looked confident: "The elders of the Heavenly Master's Mansion said, tell you to go to the Dragon and Tiger Hall to discuss matters, you quickly get dressed and follow me!" ”
When I heard it, it turned out to be an elder of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
They called me over for a meeting? Could it be that I am discussing whether I have deceived my teachers and destroyed my ancestors?
I thought as I changed my clothes, and the old woman's duck-like voice shouted again: "Hurry up, hurry up!" What is the rubbing? ”
The old woman was also followed by the young man.
The young man was thin, mouse-like.
With a trembling look, now seeing that the old woman was so unkind to me, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled her, and said softly: "Hey, hey! Keep your voice down. This master doesn't look like anything to deal with, don't you know that Aunt Fennel was thrown into a dead hole yesterday? Just because he offended her. ”
As he spoke, the mouse stretched out a pointed index finger and pointed at my room, reminding the fierce woman to be cautious.
The fierce old woman grinned and snorted on the ground: "I'm still afraid that she won't make it, a wild fox in society will not converge when she arrives in our Heavenly Master's Mansion, and dare to walk sideways." ”
Before he finished speaking, the mouse stretched out his index finger and gestured on his mouth: "You can have a snack, don't offend her." I heard that the fourth master is going to admit her to the Heavenly Master's Mansion. ”
"Yes!"
The fierce old woman's voice was only high, not low, and she deliberately lengthened the tail note: "Isn't this still in?" Besides, it's still unknown whether you can get in! Aunt Fennel is the second aunt of the fourth master, although her husband is gone, right? But you can't let an outsider bully you. I think that this time the elders held a meeting in the Dragon and Tiger Hall to call her over, not only for her deception and destruction of her ancestors, but also for the matter of Aunt Fennel, and the new account and the old account should be counted together. As soon as she entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion, she dared to walk sideways, to see how long she could be proud? ”
"Hey, hey, hey!"
After the murderous old woman and the young man finished talking, she frowned and came to knock on my door: "Did I say you're okay?" You still want to ask the elders to wait for you? ”
I had already dressed up, because it was not easy to change my regular clothes under the fence now, and I still wore a Taoist robe, and my hair was tied high with a sandalwood crown, like a male Taoist priest.
All the way to the Dragon and Tiger Hall by the fierce old woman, it was the place where there were twelve sandalwood chairs yesterday.
At this time, the hall is brightly lit and brilliant.
In the center of the lobby, there is a huge picture of the Heavenly Master Fuhu.
The hall is full of cigarette smoke, which is quite a sense of beauty in the world.
Twelve elders, male and female, old and young, sat on twelve sandalwood chairs. All of them are dressed very formally, and they look like they are talking about big things.
Needless to say, they must have been elected by the Heavenly Master's Mansion and several families close to them, and sitting in this position means that they are highly respected and speak loudly.
On the unicorn chair in the center, it was not Huo Xingzhou who was sitting, but an old man.
The old man was wearing the costume of the chief celestial master, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his sideburns were like snow.
Isn't this the old man Huo Xingzhou took me to see yesterday, his grandfather?
Listening to his tone yesterday was no longer a matter of importance, how could he still sit on the throne of the Heavenly Master today. Huo Xingzhou was standing not far from him at this time, with an indifferent and expressionless face.
When the fierce old woman saw this situation, she hurriedly went up and said, "Heavenly Master, Xiao Kunning has already brought it." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a small commotion in the hall, and the twelve elders all looked at me, touching their beards and shaking their heads.
Someone else pointed at me, and there was a small voice mixed with contempt: "She is Xiao Kunning?" ”
Old Man Huo glanced at me, waved his hand and said to the murderous old woman, "You go down first." ”
The old woman lowered her eyebrows and retreated.
As soon as she left, the voices in the hall became louder.
They all exchanged ears and pointed at me, as if they were discussing something earth-shattering. I looked at Huo Xingzhou in a puzzled way, but I saw that he was still expressionless, and he didn't even look at me.
I "groaned" in my heart, could it be that I wanted a bad dish?
At this time, I saw a strong old man wearing a dark Fushou Tang costume on the left stood up, bowed to Old Man Huo and spoke, pointing at Huo Xingzhou, his voice was like thunder: "Xingzhou, I heard that you are going to bring a little girl into the Heavenly Master's Mansion?" Is this standing in the hall now? ”
Huo Xingzhou nodded slightly.
"How?"
The twelve elders suddenly exploded: "I heard that this little girl deceived her teacher and destroyed her ancestors, and Qian Chuanzi, the eldest apprentice of Jinque Zhenren, was her master, and she was still killed." ”
"That's it!"
"This kind of person can't ask for it, and it should be immediately handed over to the Daomen Criminal Law Department and dealt with strictly. If you dare to murder Master at a young age, it will definitely be a big disaster in the future. ”
I listened to it for a while.
I was really not with Master when he disappeared, and I was still experiencing life and death at that time! Why did I come back after a catastrophe and become the murderer of Master?
Besides, I don't know if Master is alive or dead now.
The elders still looked at me and said a word, and the strong old man who was as loud as thunder was anxious, and he stomped his feet in place at this time: "Oops! Xingzhou, I said, did you hear that? Make a statement! ”
Huo Xingzhou's face did not change: "I still maintain the original decision and let Xiao Kunning join the Heavenly Master Mansion." ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like cold water dripping into hot oil.
The elders who had been quiet were frying again.
One of the middle-aged women stood up, pointed at me and said, "I'll be fair with all my heart, this little girl is not suitable to join the Heavenly Master's Mansion. In addition to being highly accomplished in Taoism, we also need people who cannot lose in virtue, this little girl killed her master, not only can our Heavenly Master's Mansion not tolerate it, but also sinners in the world, and everyone will be punished. In my opinion, she should be investigated immediately. ”
As soon as these words came out, the others nodded their heads again and again.
Another old man pointed at me again and said, "If our Heavenly Master's Mansion can tolerate such a person who deceives teachers and destroys ancestors, won't there be another one more Sheng Yourong in the world in the future?" ”
"Back then, Sheng Yourong broke out of the house and abandoned her master Wuyunzi and left. Defecting to the Wei family, we hated her at that time. Now that I think about it, the little girl in front of me is the murderer who directly killed her master, which is even more hateful than Sheng Yourong. ”
"It's just that such a wolf-hearted person will never be tolerated."
"Have you said enough?"
I couldn't bear to cry out: "You say I killed my master? But what do you see? Is there any evidence for this? ”
"This ....."
They didn't expect me to speak, and after being taken aback one by one, they stared at me with big eyes, I look at you, in fact, they didn't know what was going on, but after reading the Taoist report, they characterized me as a sinner.
Although Lin Shenyan and the others didn't know what means they used to characterize me as a sinner, they didn't provide any substantial evidence. It's just that I have the upper hand in public opinion, and I give others a preconceived notion that I have harmed Master.
This is not listening to the wind is the rain, what nonsense?
As soon as I saw that they were all silent, I looked at Huo Xingzhou.
Huo Xingzhou was just about to speak, and the people below seemed to want to make a preemptive strike, pointing at me and saying, "Anyway, this little girl can't join the Heavenly Master's Mansion!" ”
I can see that they don't really care if I really harm Master, their real purpose is to prevent me from entering the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
It's no wonder that a big fart has to hold a meeting in the Dragon and Tiger Hall, and everyone invited Old Man Huo out.
After all, deciding who enters the Heavenly Master's Mansion is just a matter of Huo Xingzhou's words, if he doesn't move the old man and the elders out, who can stop him!
Thinking of this, I remembered the cruel words that the Jiaqing Fairy left down last night: If you want to enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion, it's not so easy!
This fairy is charismatic enough!
Huo Xingzhou didn't let go no matter what they said, and still asked me to join the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
The elder whose voice was louder than thunder suddenly became anxious, and he stomped his foot and pointed at Old Man Huo on the main seat: "Heavenly Master! You're in charge of the state! Why didn't you say a word? ”
What do you want him to say?
He had already passed the position of Chief Heavenly Master to Huo Xingzhou, and now Huo Xingzhou had decided that he would refute it, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Huo Xingzhou?
If he opposes Huo Xingzhou's decision, how can he establish his majesty in the Heavenly Master's Mansion in the future?
But now Huo Xingzhou has just taken office after all, and his foundation is unstable.
If this matter is not handled carefully, I am really afraid of losing the support of the people.
Thinking of this, Old Man Huo cleared his voice and said, "Everyone has their own opinions, and this is not a solution. But now, as Xiao Kunning said, there is no witness or physical evidence to prove that she murdered her master, and some are just the words of two people. We can't just listen to them and not listen to those who have wronged. In this way, whether Xiao Kunning deceived his teacher and destroyed his ancestors, the Heavenly Master's Mansion will send someone to investigate. But if you want to enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion, you have to follow the rules of the assessment, and only by passing the test can you enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion that everyone can be convinced. Are you willing to be tested? ”
Okay, too.
As with the exam, the selection is fair and just, as long as there is no black whistle, it doesn't matter if you accept it, and you can take this opportunity to gag their mouths.
He asked, "What test?" ”
