The low courtyard wall blocks the fierce wind and snow outside the courtyard, and the warm courtyard is full of spiritual energy, and all kinds of strange flowers and grasses compete for beauty. The courtyard is arranged in a grand manner, the water pavilion song platform, the carved beams and painted buildings, the pavilions are heavy, the corridors and roads, all of them are magnificent, showing grandeur. The main hall in the courtyard is majestic and majestic, the momentum is extraordinary, the three hundred and sixty-one purple and green dragon flame lamps in the hall are scorching, thirty-six bronze incense burners are fragrant, sixteen five-clawed dragon pillars are towering, everyone who comes here is in high spirits, and is in awe.

However, at this moment, in the middle of the main hall, there were three figures kneeling, and they were on the ground with their heads and hands, as if they were lying on the ground, like hares and lambs trembling in front of tigers and wolves.

I don't know how long it took, a touch of vitality suddenly appeared in the empty hall, three hundred and sixty-one purple and green dragon flame lamps swayed in unison, and the three figures kneeling on the ground prostrated a few points again, showing even more humility.

A low male voice sounded in the main hall: "Jinchuan has always had the law, and the whole sect obeys it, Kun'er and Xiaoming, you two openly disobeyed the Jinding ruling, obstructed the White Tiger Guard and the Discipline Institute to handle the case, disobeyed the law of etiquette, and the circumstances were heinous, are you guilty?"

A slight dragon roar came from the north of the main hall, and golden light gushed out like underground lava, and the thick spiritual pressure instantly submerged the main hall. When the golden light slowly dissipated, the three people who were kneeling on the ground saw clearly that a purple gold ascending dragon sat slowly, and the dragon sat on a middle-aged man who was covered in golden light, dressed in a golden robe and jade belt, with a resolute and resolute face, and a bit of fairy wind and bones, staring at the three of them expressionlessly.

Feng Kun was already kneeling impatiently, and when he had the opportunity to speak, he was polite, and hurriedly defended: "Master, please also ask Mingjian, this matter is the lawlessness and arbitrariness of the fifth junior disciple, and the disciples are just to avoid further deterioration of the situation, so as to persuade both sides to take a step back, so as not to cause greater trouble." ”

Ye Xiaoming greeted Feng Kun's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart, but how dare Jin Zun make a mistake at present? He had to kneel honestly and didn't dare to raise his head.

Jin Zun snorted coldly: "Hmph, you lazy and slippery, not only can you not have the courage to admit your mistakes, but you will put all the blame on the junior brother, which is even worse, and it is not good to reflect on it!" Although Jin Zun said harshly, he clearly did not mean to delve into it, and the regret outside the words was far greater than the reprimand.

"In vain...... ...... in vain"

Feng Kun still had to say more, but Jin Zun would listen to his nonsense again, and scolded: "Don't you shut up yet?"

"Oh......"

was gaged by Feng Kun, Jin Zun's anger dissipated a lot, and his closeness to the two apprentices prevailed. Even if he wanted to teach a few more lessons, as long as he thought of Feng Kun's treacherous and lazy nature, he suddenly lost interest, and he wanted to scold Ye Xiaoming again, but when he saw his pitiful virtue of carrying a black pot, he couldn't bear to open his mouth to scold. In the end, he waved his hand and said: "Two things that are not angry, you know that there is lawlessness, go to the abyss rift and think about it behind closed doors for thirty years, don't come back to see me if you can't figure it out!"

When Feng Kun heard this, he immediately rejoiced: "The apprentice has already known his mistake. Master, if you understand it, you don't have to go, right?"

Jin Zun's face twitched, and he said in a low voice: "Get out of here, if you don't stay for thirty years, see how the teacher cleans you up!"

Feng Kun's body trembled, and his face suddenly became bitter, but seeing that Jin Zun said resolutely, he knew that it was useless to roll around, so he had to salute respectfully and leave. Ye Xiaoming got up slowly, hung his head, followed Feng Kun to bow to Jin Zun, and left the hall without saying a word.

Jin Zun looked at the backs of the two, shook his head with a wry smile, and then said to the last lonely kneeling figure on the ground: "Qiu Shutong, you should also get up." His tone was suddenly cold.

Qiu Shutong didn't dare to get up, but lowered his body and said in a trembling voice: "The disciple is not doing well, please punish the uncle." ”

The smile on Jin Zun's face had long since disappeared, and his cold face made people feel cold, he sat up slightly straight, and snorted coldly: "Punishment?

Qiu Shutong's heart tightened, he didn't dare to take a breath, slowly raised his head, and said apologetically: "The disciple has lived up to the trust of the uncle, and the disciple is ashamed." ”

Jin Zun on the Purple Gold Dragon Throne suddenly sighed faintly, his tone softened, and he said as if reminiscing: "Shutong, you have been in charge of the Discipline Academy for more than 700 years, right?"

Qiu Shutong didn't know why Jin Zun suddenly mentioned this matter, although Jin Zun's tone was kind, but instead of breathing a sigh of relief, he raised twelve points of caution and said: "Senior Uncle is wise, the disciple has been in charge of the Discipline Academy since the beginning of the Advanced Saint Realm, and it has been seven hundred and sixty-six years now. ”

Jin Zun nodded slightly, and said like a loving elder: "Over the years, you have been cautious and upright, adhering to the Jinchuan law, maintaining the order of the sect, and it is really hard, for these mundane things, you have not delayed your cultivation, right?"

Qiu Shutong was terrified in his heart, kowtowed heavily and said: "Uncle Mingjian, the disciple has a heavy responsibility, and he does not dare to slack off, for the great cause of the sect, even if he is broken, he will not hesitate to delay his cultivation a little, it is really not worth mentioning." ”

Hearing Qiu Shutong's answer, Jin Zun's cold face softened slightly, Qiu Shutong only felt that the pressure that had been shrouding his body suddenly lightened, knowing that he had only passed the test at this time, he was greatly relieved in his heart, but he heard Jin Zun sigh worriedly: "You already know about the matter of Xisha Valley, one of the five great immortal gates of the hall, not only was it destroyed overnight, but what is even more disturbing is that the news has been blocked for a year, if it weren't for the deity visiting the west for the statue of the Heavenly Tribulation this time, I'm afraid this appalling thing doesn't know how long it will be hidden." ”

When it came to the matter of Zhixi, Qiu Shutong was also shocked in his heart, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle Shi, except for the Central Plains Juling Mountain, the strength of the other four is only between the two immortals, and to destroy it overnight, at least close to twenty masters of the transformation realm need to shoot at the same time, that is, the strength of three of the five great immortal gates." However, because the cultivation of the master of the transformation realm is too high, every move will affect the luck of the world, especially a master in the late stage of the transformation realm like Uncle Shi, once he leaves the extreme north, or works with others, it is difficult not to arouse the ideas of other top masters. Until the Xisha Valley was destroyed, such a large-scale battle, didn't Uncle Shi notice any traces before?"

Jin Zun's face was ugly, and he shook his head and said, "This is exactly what the deity is worried about. It is said that as long as the Xisha Saint, the Southern Frontier Holy Emperor, the East China Sea Demon Emperor, and the Central Plains Gathering Spirit True Monarch leave their own domain or do something with people, the deity will feel it no matter what, but this time it is without warning, which is really incomprehensible. ”

Qiu Shutong thought for a moment, and then asked, "I wonder if Uncle Shi can find clues to the destruction of the Sand Valley on this trip to the west?"

Jin Zun muttered: "When the deity entered the Zhixi this time, he did not find any monks who cultivated above the Holy Realm, and it is said that they all fell in the catastrophe when the Zhixi was destroyed. What the deity knows is also a few words from hearsay, which are pieced together, and there are many errors, omissions, and contradictions, and it is not to be believed at all. But there is one thing that is very suspicious, if it is said that the masters above the Holy Realm of the Xisha Valley and the various sects to which he belongs gathered somewhere overnight and were completely annihilated by the enemy, although this is unreasonable, it can still be explained, but there are countless masters of the Western Saint Realm, and even those hidden masters were all found missing afterwards. First, how can the other party grasp the whereabouts of these masters and then kill them one by one? Second, since the other party has already annihilated the Xisha Valley, why do they need to make a big move and exterminate all the Saint Realm masters who are not subordinate to the West? Third, the other party has exterminated the Xisha Valley, but instead of controlling the land to the west, they let the low-level monks fight for power and profit, and protect each other to attack and kill. What was their purpose? ”

Of course, Qiu Shutong couldn't give an answer to what Jin Zun couldn't figure out, he thought for a while and asked, "Master, do we need to inform the other five immortal sects about the matter of going to the west?"

Jin Zun waved his hand and said: "The deity didn't plan to hide from anyone on this trip to the west, knowing that the deity entered the west, several other families would definitely contact the chess pieces planted in the west, but now I'm afraid that something is wrong." In addition, the deity has asked Juling Zhenjun to go to the extreme north to mediate Ji Yanlan's tragic death, and I am afraid that he should arrive in more than half a month. ”

Qiu Shutong nodded, fell into deep thought, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, Jin Zun's powerful voice woke up Qiu Shutong, who was out of his mind: "Shutong, the extreme north is also an eventful autumn at the moment, all kinds of signs indicate that a group of mysterious organizations have entered the extreme north, and all the little things that are happening in the extreme north are similar to those messy rumors in the west, and the deity is worried that the tragedy in the west will be repeated in the extreme north." ”

For Jin Zun's inference, Qiu Shutong was not surprised at all, since He Zichuan left Jinding, a series of strange things have intensified, Jinchuan and the inner and outer doors are seriously opposed, and then after hearing the terrifying news that Zhixi was destroyed, he faintly had a guess in his heart, Jin Zun invited Juling Zhenjun to visit the extreme north, in addition to mediating the Holy Emperor of Southern Xinjiang, I am afraid that there is also some intention to join forces to resist the mysterious organization. It's just that the enemy is so difficult, even if he has been mentally prepared, he is broken by Jin Zun at this moment, but he still feels panicked in his heart.

He carefully considered the words and said cautiously: "Senior Uncle, at present, the internal and external sects are opposed, the Seven Swords Hall accuses the White Tiger Guard of being infiltrated by a mysterious organization and has betrayed the sect, and the outer gate accuses He Zichuan of stealing treasures and leaving the sect, colluding with the East China Sea Demon Palace to stir up the wind and rain, and the sect is in a lot of trouble." ”

Jin Zun nodded and said, "These deities know, what do you think?"

Qiu Shutong seemed to struggle a little, and after hesitating for a moment, he said in his heart: "In comparison, there is no evidence for Seven Swords Hall's accusation against Bai Huwei, while Bai Huwei's accusation against He Zichuan is certified as physical evidence, the time and place are clear, and the logic is very strict. Just ......"

"Just what?"

Qiu Shutong carefully observed Jin Zun, and saw that he was not different, so he said: "The disciple went to prison this time, and I think that He Zichuan may not be as the outer gate said...... Is it a bit sloppy to deal with it like this......"

Before Qiu Shutong finished speaking, he heard Jin Zun snort coldly, and his heart suddenly tightened, and the pressure was like a mountain, making him unable to straighten his waist. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he fell to his knees with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "The disciple is talking nonsense, and I ask my uncle to forgive me." ”

Jin Zun's anger came and went quickly, but in just a moment, the pressure on Qiu Shutong's body disappeared without a trace, but the cold sweat behind Qiu Shutong had soaked through his clothes, and the robe was tightly attached to his body.

Jin Zun saw that Qiu Shutong was still kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Get up, don't think nonsense in the future." At present, there are many crises, if you are not careful, you may follow in the footsteps of Xisha Valley, whether it is the Seven Swords Hall or the outer gate, it may become a threat, and the only thing you can trust is your transcendent inner gate and two courts, which is why the deity said so much to you and sent you to prison. The deity knows that his disciples have deep feelings, and it is inevitable that they will make you quiet. ”

Qiu Shutong said in fear: "The disciple is deeply ashamed to have the trust of his uncle. ”

Jin Zun waved his hand and said: "That's it, since Xiao Qi has gone, it is really against the other and there is no threat, although the number of people in the outer door is large, the strength is not strong, you can monitor it well." There's only one thing that's tricky. ”

"Southern Xinjiang Holy Emperor?"

Jin Zun nodded and said: "Exactly, for the sake of Ji Yanlan's tragic death in the extreme north, the Holy Emperor has already set up a car, and he did not use the remote teleportation array all the way, but swaggered through the market, made a lot of fanfare, and created enough momentum, bent on making me Jinchuan have more blood." Although there is the mediation of the Gathering Spirit True Monarch, how can the old fox of the Holy Emperor be so easy to get along with, it really makes the deity "said Jin Zun's golden eyes and pupils constricted like threads, like cat's eyes, staring at Qiu Shutong with great meaning.

Qiu Shutong knew what Jin Zun thought, his heart suddenly burst out, he smiled bitterly, but he arched his hand to Jin Zun on his face: "Uncle Shi don't worry, the disciple knows what to do." ”

"Oh?" Jin Zun said with a look of surprise: "Shutong is really a great talent, such a tricky matter can also share the worries of the deity? ”

Qiu Shutong bowed and said, "The disciple will not disgrace his life this time!"
