Chapter V: The Perishable Water of Judgment (2)
Huang Su said: "This sect is in decline, the situation is worrying, but there are outstanding and outstanding disciples under the sect, it is not enough to take care of and promote, let alone kill them casually." What's more, Yi Yishui is different from ordinary people, he is even more excellent, and his qualifications are to look at those great sects that are far away from the Qi country, and I am afraid that there is no other! At present, he is still so young, and his future achievements are even more limitless! Such a person is not the person that my Yanshan faction has always longed to have! And now such an outstanding talent is standing in front of us, I can't wait to cherish it, but want to strangle it in the cradle as an infant baby, how can this be worthy of the ancestor who has passed away! Is Zhongxing Yanshan just talking and playing!"
Lu Yuanzhi said: "He is indeed very good, but it is not that the old man does not spare his talents, and it is not that I want him to die, I have given him a chance, it is he who does not know how to cherish it, I said that as long as he tells his hidden secrets truthfully, I will naturally not pursue him again, so as the head of the house, I have made a lot of concessions, which can be regarded as the most lenient treatment." ”
Huang Su bowed down and said: "Back to the master, let's ask who in this world has not had some secrets that belong to him and are inconvenient for others. Since the perishing water refuses to speak, it must have his troubles. Why should we force others to say it, and as his predecessors, should we try to understand his difficulties? As long as he is loyal to my Yanshan, in fact, these can be nothing. Huang Su hereby implored the head of the sect to make him redeem his merits, and lead me to establish a thousand years of meritorious deeds in Yanshan in the future, so that it is enough to offset the mistakes he has made now. ”
After Lu Yuanzhi was silent for a while, he sighed: "Since you have interceded for him like this, and there is quite some truth in your words, if I am blindly hard-hearted, won't I be tongue-in-cheek in the future, and be said to be a derelict head who ignores the overall situation, I can't afford this crime! ”
Huang Su was overjoyed, and then bowed down and said: "The head of the family is eloquent and strategic, and he understands the righteousness of all the people in Yanshan, who does not know, and who dares to say that the head of the house is not! ”
Lu Yuanzhi looked at Huang Su and said with a smile: "You don't have to say good things about me." You said before that as long as I was shown these heads, the life and death of the perishable water would be decided by me, and you would not bother with it, but in fact you blindly tried to persuade me to let him go. Huang Su, Huang Su, you don't live up to your words. ”
Huang Su said respectfully, "I just want to leave a disciple with endless potential for Yanshan. ”
Many elders, including Lu Yan and Wu Changqing, never expected such a result, the person who originally looked like he was about to be in charge of the Fa, after some persuasion by Huang Su, was actually pardoned like this, which was too unexpected.
"Senior brother in charge, don't be so hasty......"
Lu Yan and Wu Changqing finally couldn't help but shout out in unison, hoping that Lu Yuanzhi would be able to change their decision, the eyes of the head of the clinker were extraordinary, and after an indifferent gaze was sent, the two became mute again.
After Lu Yan sat down, he was unwilling to be a veritable mute, he was full of complaints about the master, and then said dissatisfiedly to the Ziyang Elder on the side: "You old guy, you always put on the appearance of an old and good man, if you stand up with me and Wu Lao from the beginning, you will be able to persuade the senior brother in charge to give the perishing water to die, otherwise how can Huang Su's guy easily open up for the perishing water, speaking of which, I have to blame you." ”
Elder Ziyang smiled, "Why do you have to force people to a dead end. The old man felt that the kid was not bad-hearted, and the head of the house now made a very wise decision. And no matter how I look at it, this kid doesn't look like the kind of person who died early, maybe even if Huang Su didn't jump out, the head of the family wouldn't necessarily treat him like that. ”
Lu Yan didn't believe Elder Ziyang's words at all, and he also had a grudge against him in his heart, so he snorted and ignored him anymore.
Yi Yun looked at Huang Su, his heart was full of gratitude, the reason why Yi Shui was able to survive today was thanks to Huang Su's performance in the field.
But he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, Yi Shunshui killed the three old apes and brought their heads back to Yanshan, Yi Shunshui didn't even mention this matter himself, how did Huang Su know, and brought these heads back to the hall?
In a trance, he thought that it seemed that the perishing water had always been very close to Huang Su, and there always seemed to be an unusual relationship between the two, which was very strange, and he couldn't say the specifics.
At this time, Yi Yun couldn't think about it so much, he quickly came to the perishing water and helped the perishing water who was kneeling on the ground.
After the head of the sect pardoned the death penalty of the perishing water, there was no retention for anyone here, and all the elders left one after another.
Lu Yuanzhi watched everyone slowly leave, until everyone disappeared into the hall, sighed lightly, and said, "You are right, this kid is indeed choosing to die rather than truthfully explain the secret hidden in his body to me." It seems that my temptation of him is really too much. However, I never expected that Huang Su had brought the heads of three old apes, which really surprised me, and it made some sense to see him speak, which was difficult to refute. It's okay to push the boat along the river, so it can be justified, and there will be less discussion. ”
I don't know when it started, an old figure appeared behind Lu Yuanzhi, this was a very old man, wearing a tattered linen shirt. He seemed to appear there suddenly, and as if he had been there since the elders came in here, at this moment he was silent, his cloudy eyes looked straight out of the hall, as far as his eyes could see, as if nothing could block his vision, firmly locked on Huang Su who walked with Yi Yun and Yi Shui outside the hall.
If Yue Yang was here, he would be surprised, this old man was the administrator in the library that day, a mysterious figure that even Lu Yuanzhi couldn't see.
Now he was in the chamber where the perishable waters were being judged.
At this time, he turned a deaf ear to Lu Yuanzhi's words, a pair of cloudy eyes seemed to penetrate the void, staring directly at Huang Su who had gone away, looked at it for a while, and then moved his gaze to the perishing water beside him, and said to himself expressionlessly: "He is just a clown who jumps off the beam after all, but will you let me down? Do you choose to be at the mercy of others as always, do you do things that have no intentions, or are you unwilling to be oppressed by fate, and finally rise up to resist?" These words came through his mouth, and Lu Yuanzhi who was close to him didn't seem to hear it at all.
"Senior, junior thinks you are too worried, in fact, even if you don't come forward to protect this child, I haven't thought about what to do with him. I also watched this child grow up, coupled with his extraordinary talent, I can't bear to kill him no matter what, even if he makes a big mistake, it can be forgiven. With all due respect, I know that you must know a lot about the secret hidden in this child, so the junior has a reluctant request, hoping that the senior can tell the junior this secret on him. Lu Yuanzhi lowered his head and said respectfully, seeing that no one cared about him, he looked up and saw that in the hall of Nuoda, there was still the figure of the senior in his mouth, which had long disappeared.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the council chamber, and it was obvious that the head of the house had directly pardoned the perishing water, which made many people feel unacceptable.
Especially those disciples who survived the Red Flame Ridge, when they saw Yi Shui leave safely accompanied by Yi Yun and Huang Su, they were all extremely angry, so many people died, and they didn't even have the slightest punishment, so they just revealed it. What is this? Are you high-level leaders upholding a fair heart to judge? Isn't the head of the family nakedly protecting his perishable water? Is it true that the lives of others are not as important as one of his perishable toes?
The people were so angry that the crowd was on the verge of going out of control.
Fortunately, some elders had the foresight to squat here after walking out of the council hall, and when they saw that the atmosphere of the crowd was not right, they immediately stopped it, so they could not let the situation further expand.
Despite this, several elders were also very busy, and they all felt extremely difficult in the face of the crowd of disciples who were full of emotion.
The anger of the crowd was overwhelming, and it was obvious that a few elders alone wanted to completely suppress this kind of scene, which was somewhat reluctant.
However, all this was finally calmed down, and as the head walked out of the council hall, the crowd that seemed to be out of control instantly fell silent with a loud shout mixed with anger and majesty.
"This is already much better than I expected, if Huang Su doesn't come forward in the end, I'm afraid that many elders will make a fuss now, and the situation will really get out of control. ”
Lu Yuanzhi's gaze swept over everyone coldly, but he was not really dissatisfied with everyone's performance and was angry, he could fully understand everyone's mood at the moment, Yanshan had lost so many talents at one time, he was more angry and sad than everyone, after all, he was the head of the Yanshan faction today, shouldering the unshirkable huge mission of reviving Yanshan by the heads of previous generations, but the perishable water could not be killed, not to mention that he was reluctant, even the old man would not agree.
The dead cannot be regenerated, as Huang Su said, he can't be short-sighted in order to relieve his hatred for a while, and wipe out a hope that is likely to be Yanshan's future in the cradle, otherwise he can't be ashamed of those ancestors who have returned to the loess ridge, Yanshan's future can't be interrupted in his hands, and he can't become Yanshan's sinner.
made this decision, for this reason, even if he accepted the abuse from the disciples behind him, he would not regret it in the slightest.
The majesty of the head of the sect still stayed in everyone's hearts, and the crowd gradually dispersed, and soon there were only a dozen disciples left here who did not want to leave, all of whom had entered the Red Flame Ridge with Yi Yishui.
