Section 76: Punishment

Just when the two of them were still indulging in the beautiful scenery of this Void Spirit Holy Mountain, a burst of orderly footsteps suddenly sounded behind them. This was followed by a question for them: "Who are you, why do you want to trespass into the Void Spirit Holy Mountain, don't you know that this is not where you mortals can come!"

Hearing the voice, Du Jingchen and Ling Shuang Zi'er immediately turned their heads and looked at the dozens of people standing behind them, each of them was dressed in white like snow, holding a three-foot Qingfeng long sword, and they were about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and they were looking at the two of them with a high spirit. When Du Jingchen just wanted to call Master to come out to relieve the siege, he disappeared from Master, and he secretly shouted in his heart: "Master, where has your old man gone, at this critical juncture, you can't leave your beloved disciple and slip away alone." ”

Looking at Twilight Jingchen's uncomfortable expression, the leading disciple of the Void Spirit Holy Mountain spoke again, but this time it was not aimed at Twilight Jingchen and Ling Shuang Zi'er, he tilted his head and asked the people behind him, "Who is the person who is guarding the good today, why can't you see him here, and let them come up the mountain?"

"Back to the second senior brother, the one who guards the mountain today is a new disciple who has just started, and I will go to him now!" The disciple was about to leave when he was stopped by their second senior brother: "Forget it, in the future, all the disciples who guard the mountain and leave their duties without permission will be punished to the back mountain for one year, no matter who it is, understand?"

"Yes, Second Senior Brother. ”

The two of them listened to the words of the second senior brother, and felt that he was so majestic, and the righteous and majestic temperament emanating from him made people feel that it was difficult to obey him. Twilight Jingchen faced the second senior brother, and was a little timid at first. But seeing the scene just now, he only felt that although the person in front of him was majestic, he was not a difficult person to get along with, so he took a deep breath, stepped forward, and saluted: "Hello Second Senior Brother, we didn't trespass on the Holy Mountain without permission, but someone brought us up!"

"Someone brought you up, who is it, say his name?" the second senior brother asked with some curiosity, this question also made him let go of some majesty and feel more close.

Du Jingchen said seriously: "My name is Du Jingchen, the person who brought us up is my master, the people in the rivers and lakes are called 'Xugu Daoren', my master said that he is a disciple of the Void Spirit Saint, he has traveled in the world for nearly fifteen years, met me eight years ago, and accepted me as his apprentice, and this time, it was the master who brought us here!"

After listening to Du Jingchen's story, the second senior brother paused for a moment and said, "Xugu Daoist. After thinking for a while, his face suddenly showed joy: "Could it be that Senior Brother is back, what about others, where is it, tell me quickly?"

The second senior brother didn't wait for Du Jingchen to say anything more, he immediately turned his head and said to a disciple beside him, "You take them to the guest room first and settle them well." After a brief command, he ran away, and it was obvious that he was excited.

Du Jingchen and Ling Shuang Zi'er were taken to the guest room to settle down temporarily, and the disciple of the Void Spirit Holy Mountain who brought them, after setting everything up, said to the two: "I am a new disciple of the Void Spirit Sacred Mountain, my name is Qinglin, you two can come to me at any time if you have anything, I am around the guest room, if there is nothing to do, then I will go out first." Twilight Jingchen nodded at Qinglin and smiled: "Thank you, little master, I'm sorry for your trouble, we don't have anything to do for the time being, you can go get busy first!" After sending Qinglin away, Twilight Jingchen came to Ling Shuang Zi'er's side and asked, "You say, where will my master go, why is he gone in a blink of an eye?" Ling Shuang Zi'er smiled: "I don't know, let's wait here with peace of mind!"

In fact, the moment Xugu ascended to the Void Spirit Holy Mountain, he knew what he should do next. He deliberately avoided Du Jingchen and Ling Shuang Zi'er, and quietly came to the 'Kunyu Pavilion', where his master, the Xuan Sage Daoren, was cultivating. Xugu came to the front of the pavilion, faced the main gate of the 'Kunyu Pavilion', and knelt down with a thud. He faced the main door and whispered, "Master, the disciple is back." As soon as the words were finished, I saw the door of 'Kun Yu Pavilion' slowly open, and then a calm and powerful voice came out: "It's good to be back, come in." Hearing Master's words, Xugu didn't get up, but knelt up to Kunyu Pavilion step by step, and among the three hundred and sixty-five steps, he knelt up without pulling all the steps. Coming to the main gate, Xugu lowered his head and said softly: "Master, the disciple did not respect the master's order, and he violated the mountain rules by going down the mountain this time, and I hope that the master will punish him." ”

In the Kunyu Pavilion, the master of the Void Valley said calmly: "I know everything about you, and punishment is inevitable, but this is only the second, half of the reason why you committed a foul is still in me." Your cultivation is not strong enough, and I will lower you down the mountain, so it caused you to make a big mistake. At this moment, the second disciple of the Void Spirit Holy Mountain, that is, the second senior brother who had stopped Du Jingchen before, came to the front of Kunyu Pavilion, and when he walked up to Kunyu Pavilion quickly, he saw a person kneeling in front of the door, and his originally happy expression disappeared all at once. He looked at the beggar-like man in front of him, and it would be his senior brother. He came to Xugu's side and asked softly, "You, are you?" Xugu raised his head after hearing the voice, looking at his junior brother in front of him, he had a trace of surprise, but the surprise was fleeting, he just shouted softly: "It's you, Senior Brother Xuchen!" Hearing this, Xuchen (that is, the second disciple of the Xuansheng Daoist) could no longer believe that this person in front of him was his senior brother, but he still made a final confirmation: "Are you really a senior brother?" Xugu nodded solemnly. This time Xuchen couldn't hold back any longer, he leaned down and knelt down: "Senior brother, you are finally back, you have had a good time all these years, you know, in the time that you have been away for all these years, Master and his old man are talking about you, thinking that you will be able to return after going down the mountain in three or five years, but you have been gone for fifteen years." Xugu was very moved in his heart, but he still held back. Xuchen stopped his emotions and asked puzzledly: "Senior brother, you are all back, then hurry in and go in to see Master, what are you kneeling here for?"

Xugu sighed lightly and said: "I'm sorry for the master and junior disciples, this time I went down the mountain, not only did I not fulfill the master's order, but also violated the mountain rules, I knelt here and waited for the punishment of the master and his old man." Senior brother, you can leave first!" Xugu's words surprised Xuchen, he wanted to ask more, but Xugu had already signaled him to go down and wait first. There was no way, Xuchen had to slowly walk towards Kunyu Pavilion
