157 The reward and punishment have been set
Chapter 157
Feng Qingxuan's words immediately made everyone stunned, one moment ago, Feng Qingxuan still praised Xiao Zhen's doing, but the next moment, Xiao Zhen was on the cusp of the storm, Feng Qingxuan's expression was extremely stern, and there was a hint of anger, it didn't seem to be a joke.
"Teach Teacher!" Seeing that Feng Qingxuan was not joking, Zhang Chunhao suddenly became anxious, he didn't understand why Feng Qingxuan suddenly turned his face faster than turning a book, but Zhang Chunhao knew that if Feng Qingxuan showed such an expression, it would definitely not be as simple as scaring Xiao Zhen, this punishment would inevitably come.
"Zhang Chunhao, as the palace master of the Mirage Palace, you are also responsible for the mistakes committed by Xiao Zhen, but you didn't know about it before you were imprisoned, so it is not appropriate for this sect to be severely punished, but from today onwards, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, can you know?" The sharp gaze like lightning instantly fell on Zhang Chunhao's body, and before Zhang Chunhao finished speaking, Feng Qingxuan interrupted Zhang Chunhao's words.
Feng Qingxuan's resoluteness was seen by everyone, but Zhang Chunhao couldn't sit back and watch his disciple be punished no matter what, so Zhang Chunhao didn't flinch, and said again: "Sect master, although Xiao Zhen is at fault, he has made merits after all, and he should be able to offset the merits, right?"
"The state has rules and regulations, meritorious service is one thing, mistakes should be punished, merit is merit is fault, the two must not be confused, Chun Hao, this is the last warning, retreat. β
Hearing Feng Qingxuan's words, Zhang Chunhao still wanted to say something, but at this time, Wang Zhongjing took a step forward, grabbed Zhang Chunhao's sleeve, and shook his head gently.
"Xiao Zhen, this sect rewards you for your merits but punishes you, this merit is separated, it does not offset each other, can you be convinced?" A pair of eyes were as sharp as falcons, Feng Qingxuan stared at Xiao Zhen's body, and when he came into contact with Feng Qingxuan's gaze, Xiao Zhen nodded and said: "Xiao Zhen has no objection, but the master didn't know that Xiao Zhen made a mistake before, so Xiao Zhen implored the master not to hold the master responsible, if the master must punish the master, Xiao Zhen is willing to bear it for the master." β
For Feng Qingxuan's sudden rebuke, Xiao Zhen did not retreat, but faced it head-on, and a pair of eyes flashed with determination, and seeing Xiao Zhen like that, Feng Qingxuan's eyes suddenly flashed a look of appreciation, but then he hid it and said: " Very good, if you know your mistakes, you will know how to bear them, now this sect will announce the reward for you first, because you performed extremely well on the Dragon Skeleton Mountain, killed many cultivators of the Demon Sect, and rescued all your fellow Daoists in fire and water, it can be described as a brilliant achievement, this sect announced today that Xiao Zhen was specially promoted to the purple-clothed disciple of the Ethereal Sect, leading the purple-shirted cloud robe, and allowing Xiao Zhen to have three chances to enter the Tibetan Scripture Tower or the Divine Weapon Tower!"
Hearing this reward, in an instant, countless eyes shot towards Xiao Zhen, these eyes were full of incomparable envy, and even without looking, Xiao Zhen could already guess that everyone's eyes had already turned blood red, and they didn't blame them for being so, three opportunities to enter the Tibetan Scripture Tower or the Divine Weapon Tower, that was simply a great gift, the so-called entering the Tibetan Scripture Tower or the Divine Soldier Tower, is to acquiesce to the person who enters, can take away a piece of exercise or a divine weapon, and the ethereal sect's treasured classics and divine weapons, no one will ever doubt its valueγ
Compared to the three opportunities to enter the tower, although the reward of being promoted to a purple-clothed disciple was also eye-catching, it was also a little inferior, and the number of pills rewarded by other Feng Qingxuan and so on were too far away from these two rewards, although it made people jealous, but it also seemed a little overshadowed.
After the successive rewards were finished, the entire Qianwutai fell into a state of silence, and the reward given by Feng Qingxuan to Xiao Zhen even made people at the palace master level feel a little red, and looked at the quiet atmosphere around him with satisfaction, Feng Qingxuan nodded and continued: "The reward is over, and the next thing is punishment." β
"Xiao Zhen, in view of the fact that you did not obey the orders of the master in Longji Mountain, openly killed people, etc., this sect decided to punish you for thinking behind closed doors in the Tianling Pagoda, from today onwards, you will enter the Tianling Pagoda and meditate on yourself inside, without permission, it is forbidden to leave the range of the Tianling Pagoda for a single step!" Looking at Xiao Zhen coldly, Feng Qingxuan said to Xiao Zhen.
"Is it facing the wall again?" Hearing Feng Qingxuan's words, Xiao Zhen suddenly showed a wry smile, he didn't notice that when Feng Qingxuan decided to let Xiao Zhen go to the wall of the Heavenly Spirit Tower, his face had already turned very pale, and Lei Qiankun, who was originally looking at Xiao Zhen with a look of jealousy and anger, showed a hideous and cruel smile after being surprised.
In addition to the obvious change in the expressions of the two of them, the expressions of the other four palace masters in the six palaces also changed, but it was the kind of change that could not be grasped, although it was not explained, but just by looking at the changes in their faces, they could also know that this Tianling Pagoda was not a good place.
In fact, in addition to the palace master of the Six Palaces, the other disciples are not clear, what is so special about the Tianling Pagoda, among the four towers of the Ethereal Sect, the Lock Demon Tower is the place of training, the Hidden Scripture Tower and the Divine Soldier Tower are the places of treasure, as for this Tianling Pagoda, there are really no disciples who have been there, even many purple-clothed disciples are at a loss for the Tianling Pagoda.
"Come on, bring Xiao Zhen to the door of the Tianling Pagoda and wait!" Feng Qingxuan's cold voice immediately brought everyone back to their senses, and the next moment, four dark figures instantly swept from afar, the speed was amazing, but in an instant, the four figures had already come to Xiao Zhen's side, and when they saw these people, everyone's hearts trembled slightly.
Although the clothes worn by these people are the style of the clothes of the Ethereal Sect, they are not the colors that everyone in the Ethereal Sect is familiar with, but the color of black and bright, black clothes, some Ethereal Sect people have heard that there is a group of people in black clothes in the Ethereal Sect, these people are only under the command of the Ethereal Sect Master, their function is extremely single, that is, to enforce the law, once the Misty Sect makes a serious mistake, they will be taken away.
There was no room for Xiao Zhen to resist, these black-clothed ethereal people with blank expressions instantly took action to restrain Xiao Zhen, and injected energy, Xiao Zhen instantly felt a burst of detachment from his body, and the next moment, Xiao Zhen was directly arrested by the four people, and before leaving, Xiao Zhen clearly saw not far away, a dark golden figure was constantly catching up.
It turned out that when he was in the valley of Longji Mountain before, Xiao Zhen had already seen Wukong who had escaped, but at that time, he didn't know if the Demon Sect would take other actions, so Xiao Zhen let Wukong lurk temporarily, in fact, Xiao Zhen no longer wanted Wukong to be involved in danger, and the obedient Wukong had been lurking around, and followed the people of the Ethereal Sect back to the Ethereal Spirit Realm, and after seeing Xiao Zhen being captured, Wukong didn't hide anymore after all, and jumped up and chased after Xiao Zhen.
"Wukong! don't chase, I'll be fine, don't worry!!" Seeing that the dark golden figure kept catching up, Xiao Zhen hurriedly shouted loudly, hearing Xiao Zhen's words, Wukong paused slightly, but immediately hurried over, under Xiao Zhen's continuous shouting, Wukong finally stopped, and at this time the two sides had pulled out a considerable distance.
"Thank you senior brothers for not making a move on it......" Seeing that Wukong didn't come, Xiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the black-clothed man who caught him, and after hearing Xiao Zhen's words, the four of them still looked indifferent, and said: "No need to thank, he can't go up to the Huaqiong Palace, even if we don't make a move, it is impossible for the monkey to pass through the prohibition on the Huaqiong Palace." β
As he spoke, the five of them had already crossed a faint light, this was the prohibition of the four floating islands surrounding the Huaqiong Palace, before it was Feng Qingxuan who carried it, so Xiao Zhen was directly sent to the floating island without any feeling, and now under the leadership of these black-clothed people, Xiao Zhen saw another scene.
The group walked quickly, and soon came to an antique tower, here, where the Tianling Pagoda is located, and threw Xiao Zhen in front of the door of the Tianling Pagoda, and the four black-clothed men disappeared like a whirlwind, as if they had never appeared in front of Xiao Zhen, if it weren't for the fact that he was here now and his cultivation was forbidden, Xiao Zhen really doubted that he had a dream.
After retracting his thoughts, Xiao Zhen began to look at the huge tower in front of him, and at first glance, Xiao Zhen felt as if his soul was about to be sucked in.
The huge tower is very old, and the peeling walls and the moss that grow everywhere show the traces left by the years, probably because of the frequent exposure to the wind and sun, and many corners of the area have been weathered.
Although it is an old appearance, Xiao Zhen can clearly feel that there is a strange power in this tower, which is different from the powerful momentum of the Lock Demon Tower, which is like Mount Tai, and the powerful aura emitted by the Heavenly Spirit Tower in front of him is not as strong as Mount Tai pressing towards Xiao Zhen, but it is a long stretch, which makes Xiao Zhen feel overwhelmed.
"Curious? What the hell is this place? Just when Xiao Zhen looked at the tower fixedly, feeling the strong aura, Feng Qingxuan's voice sounded from behind Xiao Zhen, and he turned back quickly, sure enough, I don't know when Feng Qingxuan was already standing behind Xiao Zhen.
"Teach. Seeing Feng Qingxuan's arrival, Xiao Zhen hurriedly saluted respectfully, and Feng Qingxuan gently lifted Xiao Zhen up, "This is the resting place of our Ethereal Sect masters, it can be said that this is the real core of the Ethereal Sect." β
