There was silence at the scene, many people were sighing in low voices, and even the disciples of the sect who were gathering the corpse of the deceased on the periphery gradually slowed down. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Yuanyu's mood is very complicated.

In all fairness, he really didn't want to just order Hua Jun to be killed directly.

I've known Hua Jun for a long time.

Zhong Yuanyu knew that Hua Jun had a tragic background. He was originally from Liangzhou, but the city was captured by the barbarian army. If it weren't for the fact that he was young at the time and hid alone in the stable, Hua Jun would have been killed on the spot by the barbarian soldiers like everyone else.

That was hundreds of years ago. Now, the barbarians who occupied Liangzhou have long been expelled, but those who were killed in the war have all turned into a piece of loess.

Everyone has a knot in their heart that cannot be untied. Hua Jun's demons are those relatives who were killed in front of his eyes. He watched his mother and sister being forcibly and violently beaten by barbarian soldiers, and watched his father and uncle beheaded by barbarians, but he was stuffed into the stable by the adults, and he could not get out of the trap by heavy stones, until the arrival of imperial reinforcements, and he was able to survive.

The battle of Liangzhou hundreds of years ago was controlled by a barbarian monk behind the scenes. Hua Jun regarded this person as an enemy, cultivated hard, and vowed to kill him in his lifetime.

This person has achieved cultivation, and when Hua Jun was young, his cultivation was already a golden pill. Now, his strength has already become the ancestor of the infant. It was precisely because of this reason that Hua Jun felt desperate and had the idea of cultivating demonic skills, causing his cultivation to suddenly increase dramatically, and then killing his enemies.

If it weren't for this, even if Tang Qiyuan offered a higher price and conditions, it would be impossible for Hua Jun to agree to his conditions and poison these people in the daily diet of the steel armor.

Although there is a reason, the rules are the rules.

Anyone who violates the rules must be severely punished.

Leng Su has already said that Hua Jun is a capital crime this time, and the crime is unforgivable.

The Torture Hall Lord Leng Su glanced at Hua Jun helplessly, and waved his hand to the torture disciple standing next to him. In any case, he was not willing to kill Hua Jun with his own hands. After all, they are their own classmates, and they have a very close relationship with each other.

"Wait! ”

Yang Tianhong flashed out of the crowd, stood in front of Hua Jun, who bowed his head and confessed his guilt, bowed to the sect leader Zhong Yuanyu and the elders standing opposite, and said seriously: "The junior disciple Yang Tianhong has seen all the seniors of the sect. On the issue of Uncle Hua's disposition, I wonder if you are willing to listen to me?"

The obese elder frowned, looked at Yang Tianhong, and said, "Young man, I know you. You have made a great contribution to this sect in the spring competition. But the rules are like this, what, do you want to fight it on your own?"

The disciple had no such thoughts. ”

Yang Tianhong bowed respectfully and saluted, his tone was serious, and the words were clear: "The disciple was previously ordered by the sect master to secretly investigate the poisoning of the senior of the steel armor. Uncle Hua's inner reasons for this matter, please allow the disciples to understand them one by one. ”

The fat elder turned his gaze to Zhong Yuanyu and asked, "What this son said, but is it true?"

Zhong Yuanyu nodded: "That's true." On the same day, Yang Tianhong reported that the fact that the predecessors of the steel armor tyrant went crazy was quite strange, and it should be that someone within the sect had drugged him. In order to cover up people's eyes, I specially ordered Yang Tianhong to investigate secretly, and only then did I learn that today's enemy launched a large-scale sneak attack on my Guiyuan Sect. In this matter, Yang Tianhong has made great contributions, and no one can match it. ”

Next to him, the steel-armored tyrant who had not spoken all this time also said: "This kid didn't lie. The old man gave him a few pro-made "hidden charms", so that he was able to hide his tracks, follow Hua Jun, and overhear some news about the demon worshippers. Anyway, now that the matter is over, it is better to listen to what he has to say, and then decide on the final disposition of Hua Jun. ”

The anger on the fat elder's face gradually subsided, his gaze turned to Yang Tianhong, and he bowed slightly: "Let's talk, let's listen, what do you want to say." ”

Yang Tianhong observed Hua Jun for a long time.

With the token of the Lingshui Hall given by Liu Xuebing before, Yang Tianhong was free to enter and exit inside and outside the Lingshui Palace.

Hua Jun is a very responsible teacher, especially compared to his own master, Chen Zhengjian, who retreats and cultivates at every turn, Hua Jun can be regarded as the most patient teacher. Inside the Lingshui Palace, the disciples of the sect have a good reputation for Hua Jun's praise, and his understanding of cultivating joints is also quite unique. The most valuable thing is that he never hides his selfishness, and always gives detailed explanations to the disciples who ask questions.

Poisoning has been recorded since then, with a total of four occurrences.

Hua Jun is very careful, and every time he puts the poison in the steel armor storm meal, he has to catch wild beasts from the mountains and test them to make sure that they will not be fatal, so he can do it with confidence. Moreover, the number has also been cut by him a lot.

Yang Tianhong followed Hua Jun all the way down the mountain, saw him drinking bitterly in the tavern, saw the gentleness with which he treated the little beggar, saw Hua Jun kill people in anger, and gave the lonely woman gold.

Everything that happened after that, Yang Tianhong already understood.

"Even when Tang Qiyuan threatened with his life, Uncle Hua never thought of betraying his master. He just had to do it as a last resort. Uncle Hua didn't want the steel-armored tyrant seniors to be harmed, but with such a desire, it was difficult for him to break free from his demons. What Uncle Hua has done has indeed posed a threat to my Guiyuan Sect, and it has also brought quite serious security risks. The disciple had no intention of exculpating Uncle Hua, but before the elders of the sect decided to punish Uncle Hua for the final punishment, the disciple still had three things to say. ”

Looking at the eyes gathered from all directions, Yang Tianhong was not afraid, and said loudly: "First of all: Uncle Hua is a Jindan Grandmaster. From the cultivation of ordinary people to the present, the road has been difficult, and cultivation is not easy. The sect also invested a lot of pill resources. In any case, easily killing a Jindan Grandmaster is a matter of pain for relatives and pleasure for enemies. ”

This was said quite methodically, even the fat elder Yuanying who insisted on severely punishing Hua Jun couldn't help but nod slightly, but his eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled, and he didn't let go at all.

Yang Tianhong continued: "Secondly, what Uncle Hua did did did not cause substantial harm to my Guiyuan Sect. Everything Uncle Hua did is on the record, not a kid I just talk nonsense. I hope that all the teachers will give more consideration to this point before they are finally convicted. ”

"Last ......"

Yang Tianhong inhaled hard, turned around, and his eyes fell on Hua Jun who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were full of sympathy and pity: "Uncle Hua was threatened and persecuted by those who worship demons and worship evil, but I saw it with my own eyes. What Uncle Hua is asking for is just wanting to cultivate profound exercises in a short period of time to take revenge. He has always been deceived and deceived, and he has always thought that the purpose of those demon worshippers is just to get a few drops of the blood of the steel armor tyrant seniors, but he never thought that the other party actually had a deep evil heart and wanted to destroy my Guiyuan Sect in one fell swoop. ”

The fat elder is a person who can be easily provoked. He picked up Yang Tianhong's words and said irritably: "I knew those guys didn't have a good heart." There must be more troublemakers who secretly want to deal with my Guiyuan Sect, and there are many of them. ”

"Haotianmen has always been hostile to my Guiyuan Sect. ”

Yang Tianhong wasted no time in continuing: "In this Spring Competition, the two individual championships that Haotianmen had at his fingertips were all hindered by my disciples of the Guiyuan Sect and easily won. It is conceivable that Haotianmen must hate my sect to the core. However, Uncle Hua didn't know anything about this matter. All he wants is a blood feud among his family and a resurgence against his own hatred. This is the biggest problem that anyone on the path of cultivation has to face. If someone who doesn't have parents and siblings? Who doesn't have relatives and friends? When someone close to him is killed in front of him, his monstrous hatred and fear will always become his demons. If Uncle Hua was really the kind of person who had no heart, no virtue, no love, and was difficult and cunning, he would not accept Tang Qiyuan's previous conditions at all, and he would have repeatedly dealt with those demon worshippers. Especially at the last moment, Uncle Hua would rather kill himself than betray the sect. ”

Behind the lord of the Luotu Palace, Chai Ning, who had a white face, flashed out quickly. He walked to Yang Tianhong's side, bowed to the sect master and the elders, and said seriously: "I have also witnessed this matter with my own eyes, Uncle Hua has definitely not done anything to endanger this sect, nor has he said anything blasphemous to the ancestor of the Yuan. ”

Yang Tianhong's voice continued to echo in the crowd: "How many people in the world can still maintain their obsession when the sword and axe are added? How many people do not flinch in the face of death threats? I don't mean to deliberately elevate Senior Uncle Hua. But I still have to say: at the last moment, Uncle Hua is still on the side of my Guiyuan Sect. He is not a traitor to the sect, at most he has been deceived. ”

Zhong Yuanyu and the elders' eyes focused on Hua Jun. Even the angry fat elder looked at Hua Jun's gaze gradually became gentle and calm, and the killing intent on his face slowly subsided, showing a look of anger and sadness.

Perhaps in order to find a suitable way to release the anger in his heart, the fat elder suddenly raised his fist, smashed a hard mountain rock beside him, turned his back to the sky, shook his head constantly, and sighed again and again: "Hua Jun, you are so confused, you are so confused!"

"You have lived hundreds of years, but you have not seen and seen as much as a teenage doll. It's a shame that you're still the Jindan Sect Master, and you're still a descendant of my Guiyuan Sect who spent his efforts and pills to cultivate. Although there is a reason for this, but you are acting like this, how do you have the face to see your dead master?"

"Easily believing the deceitful words of the wicked and poisoning the diet of the senior masters, where is this still the proper practice of the people of this sect? Although you are pure and virtuous by nature, some mistakes can be exposed without repentance. You must know that the thousand-mile embankment collapsed in the anthill, and the terminal illness began with a scar!"

Speaking of this, the fat elder turned around and said to Zhong Yuanyu in frustration, "I am no longer in charge of the affairs of the sect. You are the sect master, and how to deal with this matter is up to you alone. ”

After a pause, the fat elder turned his gaze to Yang Tianhong, and his expression and voice became softer: "There are many people in the world who chase fame and fortune, and there are very few people who dare to speak up for others. I have heard more or less about Chen Zhengjian's acceptance of this son as an apprentice. This kid is very good, at least he said one thing right———— because of the mistakes of foreign enemies to kill our own people, and he is also a Jindan Grandmaster, no matter what, it is the pain of the relatives and the speed of the enemy. ”

After speaking, the fat elder ignored everyone, turned around, shook his wide robe, and walked towards Mingfeng Mountain hidden in the dark night in the distance without looking back. In the distance, there was an incomparably heavy sigh.

The scene fell into a long silence.

Zhong Yuanyu looked around, and the focus of his gaze fell back on Hua Jun, who was kneeling in front of him. He sighed softly and said, "Hua Jun, are you guilty?"

It's still the same question as before, however, both the way the question is asked and the tone of the question has changed dramatically. Even people without scheming can hear that Zhong Yuanyu no longer wants to kill Hua Jun at this moment. At most, that is, severe punishment.

The sadness on Hua Jun's face became more and more intense, but it looked very stiff, as if the expression was completely frozen on his face, and his muscles and skin would not change in the slightest.

The whole person knelt there straight, like a strangely shaped log.

Suddenly, Hua Jun raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, two lines of warm tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.

"I am guilty, and I should not be deceived by demons and deceive my teacher. ”

"I am guilty, for my own selfishness, I have endangered almost all the disciples. ”

"I am guilty, I deceived my teachers and destroyed my ancestors, I worship the demons, no matter what, I should not be forgiven. One sin after another, Hua Jun can't redeem it in this life and this life, so he can only wait for the next life, and then enslave for the Guiyuan Sect, and do his best for my sect from generation to generation, so as to eliminate the sins of this life. ”

Without waiting for Zhong Yuanyu and the others to react, Hua Jun suddenly raised his right hand, clenched his five fingers into a palm, pinched the Ice Thunder Decisive inward with his thumb, gritted his teeth and fell fiercely on the back of his head.

His heart was full of shame and regret.

He has no face to face the people in his master's door.

Although Fat Elder had stated that he would no longer pursue capital crimes, Hua Jun could not forgive himself. He couldn't think of a better solution than suicide.

"Stop!"

The moment the palm slapped the back of his head, Hua Jun heard a loud shout, and a figure shook in front of him, and then he felt a huge force hit his wrist, causing the cold ice and thunder light emitted by his palm to shift. It was as if a meteorite falling from the sky was hit by a small stone striking from the side and skewed a few points from top to bottom, and it was impossible to accurately hit the original landing point.

As Hua Jun's palm fell, the water-attribute ice thunder with white frost flowers landed on the ground directly in front of his knees, emitting a dull roar, splashing up an overwhelming cloud of dirt and sand.

"Don't do anything stupid!"

Yang Tianhong has been paying attention to Hua Jun's movements, and naturally he can see that Hua Jun has a dead mind. He made a timely move, destroying the self-deprecating ice thunder sent out by Hua Jun, and then pinched the ice duel casually, and a ball of water with a radius of more than ten centimeters quickly appeared in his right hand. At the same time as the roar came out of his mouth, the water balloon had already fallen straight towards Hua Jun's head.

"Whoa!"

The cold water splashed Hua Jun's body all over his face. The wet hair hung in front of his forehead, and the clothes on his body were all soaked, and in this dark night, a chill in his heart ran from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, extinguishing the painful flame in Hua Jun's mind forever.

Liu Xuebing, the master of the Lingshui Palace, pursed her lips tightly into a line, she walked out of the crowd quickly, rushed in front of Hua Jun, waved her palm high, and slapped Hua Jun's cheeks stained with tears and ice water.

"The elders have said that you will not be held accountable for capital crimes. Why are you still obsessed with it, why are you still thinking about dying?"

"What about your family's blood feud? What about Haotianmen's covetousness towards my Guiyuan Sect? Why don't you think about those people who have harmed you to such a situation, it should be them who should be damned, not you!"

"You've disappointed me so much. Elder Patriarch is right: Hua Jun, you have lived for hundreds of years in vain, but your insight and temperament are not as good as a teenager. ”

Liu Xuebing started ten years earlier than Hua Jun.

In the Lingshui Palace, and even in the entire Guiyuan Sect, Hua Jun is the person Liu Xuebing values the most and trusts the most. Seeing that Hua Jun was punished by the sect leader elders for doing something wrong, and might even die, Liu Xuebing was more nervous than anyone else, and naturally he would be desperate to intercede for him. Seeing Hua Jun giving up on himself and wanting to regret committing suicide, the anger in Liu Xuebing's heart also spontaneously arose, and instantly became swollen and angry.

The slap was extremely heavy, and the secret method of palm power was used, Hua Jun was beaten off balance on the spot by this huge force, rolled on the ground a few times, and finally regained his body. Under the bright light of the torches in the hands of the disciples, you can see blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his injured cheeks are swollen.

The tall steel-armored tyrant silently watched all the changes, and his gaze gradually became indifferent. It turned around and left without saying a word, walking towards Lingxu Peak.

Zhong Yuanyu felt the change in the guardian spirit beast, and also understood the other party's intentions from the actions of the steel armor. He shook his head, did not speak, and likewise turned away.

There were fewer and fewer people left at the scene, except for the low-level people who were carrying the remains of the deceased, the hall masters led their disciples to leave.

No one spoke the whole time. It's as if it's a huge stage, and a silent pantomime is being staged.

For many things, the same monks can have the same mind.

There is no harsh punishment in the world than spiritual pain. In this regard, Hua Jun's current punishment guilt is no less than torture.

Yang Tianhong is right: Hua Jun's sin is not to death.

Since he already felt the pain, let himself seek and punish himself in the pain, which is more effective than any discipline and punishment, and it can also cleanse the heart and cleanse the soul.

The icy water that splits the head and covers the face is enough to calm the fanatical mind.

The stinging slap can wake up the muddy nerves alive.

has said enough, it depends on whether Hua Jun can comprehend it.

Yang Tianhong took one last look at Hua Jun and turned to leave.

Liu Xuebing's palms kept trembling, but in the end, he didn't say anything and walked in front of Hua Jun.

There was no more half a figure around, only endless darkness and a cold night wind whistling by.

It was late at night.

In the distance, from where Hua Jun knelt, there was a wolf-like howl, a wail full of pain and remorse.

"I was wrong. ”

"I was wrong. ”

"I ...... Wrong!"
