Volume 1 Tribulation Chapter 34 Injustice is not in vain
"If you don't have extraordinary qualifications, how can Master teach you such a mediocre talent!" Chen Yan said angrily: "I think you inadvertently got acquainted with Master and then deceived him into trust, and after hearing about the Xuanwu Shield, he had the evil idea of killing Master, and wanted to find an artifact in his old man's house and fly away, right?"
Xu Chen was taken aback, took a few steps back, and replied in a trembling voice: "Uncle Shi...... You're mistaken, I'm not going to do it...... Such a hurtful thing!"
"Hmph, I'm still talking here, obviously seeing that I didn't have time to get out of the trouble when I came to visit my master, I made up a mask man who didn't exist, in a vain attempt to get away with the crime!
"Master, he's an old man...... His Royal Highness was killed by a sneak attack, and he was unprepared at the time!" Xu Chen hurriedly defended.
"This is exactly your cunning, because you know that if you face the enemy head-on, his old man can kill you with a single finger!" Chen Yan sneered, and then said: "Fortunately, I came in time to expose your conspiracy! Let me ask you again, there is only one way in and out of here, if the masked man escapes, how can you explain the reason why I didn't run into him on the way I came?"
"I don't know!" Xu Chen was shocked, cold sweat flowed out, he was not good at bickering, but he was forced to be speechless by Chen Yan at this moment.
"You thief, if you don't bow down to me, you will be arrested!" Chen Yan's eyes showed a fierce light, and when he raised his hand with one hand, the true qi filled with the breath of death quickly gathered in his palm.
"Uncle Shi, don't wronged a good person!" Xu Chen was uncomfortable by his hostile gaze, his temper suddenly rushed to the top of his head, and he said angrily: "Are you in such a hurry to kill me, do you want the real murderer to get away with it?"
"Hmph, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong?" Chen Yan said coldly: "I want to arrest you and bring you to justice, hand you over to the Discipline Hall of the Sacred Mountain for trial in public, and sacrifice my master's spirit in heaven with your dog's life!"
Hearing this, Xu Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that people are not afraid of shadows, and I have my own excuse when I go to the Discipline Hall, and then I won't be able to tolerate you old guy nonsense.
But Chen Yan's next sentence made Xu Chen's heart tremble when he heard it.
"Not to mention the heinous capital crime of killing my master, even this place is a forbidden place of the Divine Mountain! Except for me and the other three War Saints, it is a big crime for others to trespass, and they will be locked up for at least three or five years before they can come out!"
This was a punishment that Xu Chen didn't expect, and he was shocked and immediately remembered that the task given by the God King Garama was limited to one year, and if he was really locked up for three or five years, how could this task be completed?
Personal honor and disgrace are small, but the future of Shenshan is a very important matter! Impulsively, he couldn't help but turn his heart sideways, and decided to avoid the limelight first, and then he must not delay his task because of Chen Yan's wrongdoing.
Even if it is a big problem, it is not too late to find Master Nangong Muyang to come up with an idea, he absolutely believes that Master will not doubt himself and will definitely come to the rescue!
How could the innocent Xu Chen have time to think about it, seeing that Chen Yan's hand had already grabbed him, he hurriedly leaned over to avoid the attack, and the person had already rushed straight towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Sure enough, it's a treacherous man, brute, did you run away?"
The violent power continued to gush out from Chen Yan's palm, turning into a long river of sword qi in the blink of an eye, and this terrifying attack instantly approached Xu Chen.
With Xu Chen's current strength, how could he resist the attack that had become a war saint, not to mention that Xu Chen was so focused on escaping that he had no ability to avoid this move.
Without any suspense, Xu Chen was hit by this overwhelming true qi, and the whole person instantly bounced out under the fierce bombardment, his body twitched, and in a trance, he felt that his skull hit a hard object hard, making an earth-shattering loud noise, and then, he didn't know anything, and the person had fallen into a coma.
I don't know how long it took, Xu Chen only felt cold all over his body, and suddenly his body trembled, and the person slowly woke up. At this time, he found himself tied to a pillar with five flowers, and next to him stood a god fighter with a leather whip in his hand.
The god fighter saw that he had woken up Xu Chen with cold water, and without saying a word, he was whipped with a leather whip, and the beating was so hot that it hurt, Xu Chen endured the pain and asked sharply, "Why are you beating people indiscriminately?"
"Beast, you did a good deed!" There was an angry shout from the hall, Xu Chen heard the voice, and saw three middle-aged people with extraordinary appearances sitting in the gilded wooden chairs on the steps, they were the three war saints of Chongwu Mountain.
At this moment, the three of them were all glaring at Xu Chen angrily, and there were also dozens of Chongwu Mountain Divine Generals standing under the hall, and they were also full of anger like the three War Saints.
"Uncle Kong, Master is dead, you have to make decisions for me. As he spoke, Xu Chen burst into tears, not only grieving for the death of the god king Garama, but also worried that Kong Biao, like Chen Yan, would mistakenly believe that he was a murderer.
Hearing Xu Chen's defense, Kong Biao stood up and scolded: "Bastard, I once regarded you as a rising star in Shenshan and wanted to cultivate you well, but I didn't expect that you were a thing that was not as good as a pig and a dog, are you worthy of my hard work?"
"Master was not killed by me, it was killed by the unknown masked man!" Tied to the pillar, Xu Chen hurriedly opened his mouth to confess, his eyes were already sweeping in the precept hall, how eager he was to see the figure of Master Nangong Muyang at this moment. But the result was disappointing, although such a horrific tragedy occurred, but as a god fighter of Nangong Muyang, he couldn't enter.
"Brute, you stop me! Do you still want to pretend to be a master at such a time?" After listening to Chen Yan's narration, Liu Hanshan had already decided that Xu Chen was the murderer, and at this moment he was angry and hated that he had seen the wrong person before.
"Senior brother, don't bother talking to this beast, and directly drag him down with a thousand knives to pay tribute to Master's heroic spirit!"
"Senior brother, don't be reckless. It's easy to kill him, but no one knows the secret of the murder. ”
At this moment, a woman who was nearly thirty years old hurriedly walked outside the hall, she saluted Kong Biao and said, "Senior brother, Nangong Muyang is asking to see you outside the hall. ”
Xu Chen saw that Yun Shuiling was coming, and when he heard her say that the master was waiting outside, the tension and panic in his heart were immediately relieved a lot, because he knew that the master must have come this time to clear his grievances.
"Phew, teach such a scoundrel, he still has the face to see me!"
Yun Shuiling begged in a low voice: "Senior Brother Nangong has been waiting outside the hall for three hours, please be accommodating." ”
"Forget it, let him in, I want to see how thick Mu Yang's face is. Chen Yan, who had not spoken, spoke, he knew that Nangong Muyang was here to intercede for his apprentice, but he was even more afraid that others would say that he had a ghost in his heart, in case of improper handling of this matter, which would cause rumors to fly all over the sky, it would damage his reputation.
"Alright, just let him in. Kong Biao let out a long breath of anger and sat back in his chair with a gloomy face.
Yun Shuiling was overjoyed, and hurriedly went down to the hall to beckon his senior brother in.
After Nangong Muyang came in, he first saluted the three battle saints, and then said in a respectful tone: "Nangong Muyang has worshiped the three senior brothers. ”
Kong Biao said coldly: "The good apprentice you taught has done such an evil deed of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors!"
Before Nangong Muyang could reply, Xu Chen pulled his throat and shouted to him: "Master, I am a wronged ......" Before he finished speaking, the god fighter standing next to him was whipped again, which immediately made him have more blood marks on his body.
With a "snap", something seemed to slip off Xu Chen's body, he looked down and found that the jade pendant hanging around his neck fell to the ground, and immediately said urgently: "Give me back the thing." ”
"Pay you back?" the god fighter snorted coldly and said, "What qualifications do you have to say this now?" After saying that, he stepped on the jade pendant on the ground!
There is a reason why the Divine Fighter said this, and there is a clear provision in the laws of Chongwu Mountain that all their personal belongings of the disciples of the Divine Mountain who commit crimes must be temporarily confiscated and owned by the Divine Mountain, and even the most private items have no right to be retained.
This is the relic of the god king Garama!" Xu Chen was shocked, and he twisted his body with all his might, trying to break free from the tightly bound rope and regain the jade pendant. But in the end, it was a futile move, and I could only watch the big feet of the God Fighter step down!
"Wow!" With the sound of a slight stream of water, the Divine Fighter's feet froze less than an inch above the jade pendant, and the upper of his shoes had quietly frozen.
At the critical moment, Nangong Muyang couldn't bear to see his apprentice sad, so he came to help.
"Mu Yang, do you want to shield the villains in public?" Kong Biao was furious.
As if he didn't see Kong Biao sitting on it, Nangong Muyang picked up the jade pendant without any scruples and hung it back on Xu Chen's neck with his own hands.
Kong Biao, Liu Hanshan and the others all frowned, Nangong Muyang's move was clearly a provocation, and it also showed his attitude towards his apprentice.
But Nangong Muyang didn't care about the eyes of others, he glanced at his apprentice distressedly, and then said to Kong Biao: "Senior Brother Qiyu, although my unworthy disciple has a reckless personality, he is loyal and kind, I don't believe that he will do such a thing that is indignant to God." ”
Kong Biao said with a cold face: "The place where Master lives is Mochizuki Residence, and you know that it is the forbidden place of the Holy Mountain. Normally, except for Master, as well as me and my two junior brothers, no one is allowed to trespass without permission! But you, a criminal, have violated the ban and entered Mochizuki Residence, which is obviously ill-intentioned. ”
Nangong Muyang replied without humility or arrogance: "Xu Chen will naturally be punished for trespassing on the forbidden land, but this alone does not mean that he is the murderer of the master. ”
"Hmph, do you think I've wronged a good person?" Kong Biao's face suddenly hung up, and as soon as he glanced at him, a divine general stepped forward and handed a cloth bag to Nangong Muyang's hand.
"This is what I found on this beast, see for yourself. ”
The cloth bag was embroidered with the image of a golden Xuanwu divine beast, and Nangong Muyang suddenly knew that it was a special thing for the god king Garama, but he was surprised how it could be on the apprentice's body, so he took out the contents of the bag and took a look, and found that it was a few ingots of gold and some broken silver.
Nangong Muyang suddenly asked his apprentice in shock: "Chen'er, where did these things come from?"
"I don't know, I don't know!" Xu Chen was shocked, he had never seen these gold and silver, how could he know their origin.
Kong Biao said: "All this money was searched out of your arms, do you still want to deny it or not?"
"Wrong, I've never taken these things, and I've never even seen them!" Xu Chen was shocked and scared, he never dreamed that he would be framed, but no one believed the confessions he said next.
