Volume 5: The First Song Three Hundred and Sixty-One: The Good Times Are No More
In the Five Spirits Sect, because the Chengguan Grace Test has just ended, and there are indeed a few disciples who were very eye-catching in the ring at the beginning have already apprenticed or are about to apprentice, so all kinds of rumors have come and gone, why so-and-so will worship a certain senior as a teacher in a few days, or so-and-so will be surrounded by several elders at the same time and don't know which senior to worship as a teacher, etc., but suddenly people no longer pay attention to those disciples who may be apprentices, and begin to speculate about a strange thing that just happened.
One morning, a large number of elite disciples of the Five Spirits suddenly returned from outside, and the long group of people seemed to be pouring out of the nest in general a large number, and the most eye-catching thing was that each of them was carrying one or two fainted guys in their hands, and those people looked like they had experienced a fierce battle, one by one, their hair was scattered, and they were bound sturdily and embarrassed. Looking at the clothes and faces, those guys who were captured didn't look like the disciples of the Five Spirits, could it be that someone else was mixed in and made trouble? In the midst of people's speculation, the elite disciples of the Five Spirits swaggered in front of people with the people in their hands, leaving behind them a burst of discussions.
The news quickly spread within the sect at a rapid pace, and more and more people gathered around to watch.
This scene was seen by many people, including the aforementioned Zhang Yi, he looked at those elite disciples of the Five Spirits passing by with captives, and he understood that those who were captured must be related to Jing Ji, it must be that Jing Ji's matter was exposed, and the people involved were also taken, and Jing Yi should be punished next, I don't know if his elders can let him get out, thinking of this, Zhang Yi was glad that he held back before and didn't get involved, otherwise he would be unlucky.
Of course, Jing Jian was not seen among the captured captives, this is also normal, what is Jing Ji's identity, taking into account the feelings of his elders, he will definitely not make such a fool of himself in front of people, presumably he has been brought back a long time ago or has been quietly brought back, and now he is not knowing where he is being imprisoned for interrogation, his elders should have received the news at this time, maybe they are trying to find a way to rescue him.
Zhang Yi turned around when he thought of this, Jing Ji failed, and the next person to deal with Qian Chao was replaced by him, and he still had a reason to do so, but looking at those who were caught, Zhang Yi was thinking that there must be a safe way, not only to get rid of Qian Chao, but also not to let himself be noticed afterwards, and before Qian Chao opened the cold pool and entered it...... Pressed for time!
……
Shi Que also heard the news and ran to see the excitement, he witnessed those Five Spirit disciples with the caught people passing in front of the people proudly, he was looking before and after suddenly recognized two people in it, one is Tian Hao, the other is Tian Tilt, the children of the Tian family who came to the Five Spirits Sect are also different from the Five Spirit disciples in terms of clothing, and they are still dressed in the Tian family, so Shi Que can recognize them at a glance, among which Tian Hao has not changed much, he did not pass out and was carried by others, it looks like his hair is scattered, and his face is like ashes, The whole body was not bound by ropes, but ...... The man Tian Hao was holding with both hands...... Is that...... Tian tilt?
Shi Que looked at it again and again, and finally confirmed that it was Tian Tian who was hugged by Tian Hao and returned.
The usually arrogant little white face is now bloodstained and shriveled a lot, the upper and lower lips and part of the flesh on the cheeks are collapsing downward, as if his mouth is full of teeth, and what is going on with his hair, how was it all cut off, and it was sloppied, as if he had been gnawed by a dog, Tian Tian should have woken up, and he could see his eyeballs moving back and forth through his eyelids, but where did he dare to see people like this, so he simply continued to pretend to be unconscious.
When passing by, Tian Hao recognized Shi Que from the crowd and wanted to say something, but was pushed forward by the five spirit disciples behind him.
……
With a "bang", the door was slammed open.
Tian Shuangyu in the room was very dissatisfied and turned around angrily:
"Get out! Won't you knock on the door? ”
"Something is wrong...... Shi Que, who rushed back to deliver the letter, was a little breathless, "Something is wrong!" ”
Tian Shuangyu was stunned for a moment, and faintly guessed in her heart, but staring at Shi Que, she immediately got up and asked:
"What's the matter?"
"Tian Hao, Tian Tian, they were all arrested, they were just brought over, Tian Tian looked very miserable......"
"What's going on, tell me about it!"
Shi Que told everything he had just seen.
Tian Shuangyu immediately asked:
"What about Tian Du? Did you see him? ”
"No, I've been watching, it's just the two of them, and I haven't seen Tian Gongzi."
Really!
Tian Shuangyu's heart is bright.
Sure enough, the day I was waiting for finally came, Qian Chao's kid succeeded, Tian Hao and Tian Tian were arrested, and Tian Du must not be able to escape, maybe because it was related to that Jing Ji, of course, it was also related to the Tian family, so he didn't let him show up in front of people.
Thinking of this, Tian Shuangyu gently turned around and sat back again, looked up at Shi Que and asked:
"Do you know what Tian Du is going to do these days?"
"How did I know that he was mysterious, never took me with him, and deliberately avoided me, let alone told me, now...... What do we do now? ”
Tian Shuangyu nodded, and said:
"What else can I do, my good nephew must have failed in something, maybe he is being interrogated by others by all means, all we can do now is wait."
"Wait...... What are you waiting for? ”
"Of course, we are waiting for the people of the Five Spirits Sect to arrest us, if he commits a crime, the Tian family commits a crime, my surname is Tian, and you also came here from the Tian family, at least half of the Tian family, so it is impossible for either of us to stay out of the matter, we will definitely be dragged down by him, alas, in the next few days, we may have to suffer from imprisonment for a while."
"What?"
"Okay, go ahead, go and prepare, soon the people from the Five Spirit Sect will come."
After Shi Que left, Tian Shuangyu sat there and deduced the possible changes in his heart over and over again, no matter what, she and Shi Que would definitely be detained by the Five Spirits Sect, which was also what Qian Chao said to her at that time, this is okay, the Tian family is impossible to fall out with the Five Spirits Sect now, and soon the head of the Tian family, Tian Jiang, and even a few of those old things will come to the Five Spirits Sect together and be detained by themselves, which will make those people not doubt themselves, but what will happen next?
Will Tian Du be detained all the time or what?
How much will the head of the family, Tian Jiang, pay for his son?
These Tian Shuangyu have not been able to guess accurately, but no matter what, Tian Du's defeat will definitely seriously drag down the Tian family, there is no doubt that the Five Spirits Sect will probably not put Tian Du to death, but it is likely to imprison him for a long time, at least ...... Tian Shuangyu looked up at himself in the mirror of the dresser...... At least it would be in your best interest not to let him out or even imprison him for longer until you had built your own foundation.
And after Shi Que walked out of Tian Shuangyu's room, he was also savoring her words and deeds just now, he knew very well in his heart that the reason why Tian Du had such an end must be what Tian Shuangyu did in it, however, he couldn't say it, within the Tian family, he had already bet himself on Tian Shuangyu's side, but Tian Shuangyu was also suspicious, so even if he understood some things, he must not say them, it is much better to pretend to be confused than to be smart.
……
Because there were too many guys who were captured by those elite disciples of the Five Spirits this time, it was impossible for people not to pay attention to this matter, so new rumors quickly spread within the sect.
But until the specific news comes out, it's mostly speculation.
At first, some people said that this time the matter was likely to be related to Mu Yangzong, since Yan Shuang entered the Five Spirits Sect and promoted the alliance between the sect and the Nine Immortals, Mu Yangzong has been secretly thinking about getting rid of her, there have been two attempts before, both of which ended in failure, and this time is no exception, but this time they lost even more, because most of the people sent this time were captured alive, and this time the sect is estimated to use these people to make a big fuss.
However, some people disagreed, bluntly saying that this time the matter was very strange, but it was after the Chengguan Grace Test, before the hundred years of acceptance, so the people who were arrested this time are likely to be related to those who came from the outer sect, and those who came from the outer sect are likely to harbor evil intentions and secretly want to cause trouble in the Five Spirits Sect, of course, this statement was immediately refuted, and it was only a hundred and ten qi refining cultivators who were arrested, so it is not a joke that such a person will cause trouble in the Five Spirits Sect.
There were also people who recognized Tian Hao among the people who were caught, so the spearhead of the rumors was once directed at the Tian family.
And just when people were speculating, a piece of news immediately attracted people's attention, the sect announced that the 100-year enshrinement that was originally scheduled to be held in a few days would be postponed for some reason, but the reason and when it was postponed were not explained.
With this news, people immediately discovered that those disciples of the outer sect who came to participate in the centennial acceptance could come and go at will in the sect and could always meet them, but since the events of that day, it seems that they have been collectively grounded for half of the past few days and can no longer be seen, so, among all kinds of rumors and speculations, the initiators of this incident seem to be those from the outer sect.
……
It's been a few days since he returned from the sect, this day Tang Ping went to find Yan Xuan in advance, in the past few days, Yan Xuan has to go to Qian Chao almost every day to treat him, although Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan have many injuries, but they each have armor to protect themselves, so they are not heavy, but Qian Chao was the person who Tian Du must kill at that time, so he was the most attacked, so he was also the most seriously injured, Tang Ping found Yan Xuan and went to see Qian Chao with her.
In Qian Chao's room, there was a low soft couch in front of the bookcase, and a thick layer of soft jacket was placed on it, Qian Chao looked at the book in his hand crookedly, he was almost half-naked, the upper half of his body was wrapped with fine linen, and only a robe was draped outside, so the room was also full of the smell of various medicines.
After pushing the door open, Tang Ping said dissatisfiedly:
"Hey, boy Qian, why don't you lie down obediently, and you feel uncomfortable if you don't hold a book in your hand?"
Qian Chao pulled his robe on his body again before he smiled:
"Aren't I just lying down, Sister Yan's medicine is very effective, and now it is much better."
"Then it should be upside down on the bed," Yan Xuan said, taking out his medicine box and placing it on the case, "to see how the injury is." ”
Tang Ping still had a lot of large and small wooden boxes and brocade boxes piled up next to Qian Chao's bookcase, so he pointed to them and asked:
"What are these?"
Qian Chao glanced at it and said:
"Well, I've been very lively here these days, some senior brothers came to see me when they knew I was injured, those were left when they left, saying that they were healing tonics, I don't know much about it, I forgot it a few days ago, and I took it out to Sister Yan today."
"Oh." Tang Ping said as she opened the boxes and looked at them.
Qian Chao asked:
"By the way, it's been a few days since we've been back, what are we going to do with the Jingjie Sect......"
Before Tang Ping could answer, Lu Pingchuan's voice came from the courtyard:
"Hehe, Sister Tang and Sister Yan are here, let's get together today."
In the courtyard outside the door, it was Lu Pingchuan and Li Jian who came over, and the two of them came to visit Qian Chao together when they saw that their injuries were healed.
After a few people sat down, Qian Chao asked the previous question again:
"What the hell did Jing Ji do?"
If the sect connived at Jing Ji or Jing Ji's elders saved him, then this person would become a big disaster for the five of them in the future, so Qian Chao was very concerned about this matter.
"That's right, what happened to that kid in the end, the sect won't let him go, right?" Lu Pingchuan also asked.
"Jing Ji really doesn't have to die......"
As soon as Tang Ping said this, the faces of the rest of the people turned cold involuntarily, and Lu Pingchuan snorted and said:
"Hmph, let this kid pick up a big bargain, and go back and kill him with his own hands!"
"That's not necessary," Tang Ping continued, "Jing Wei was finally abolished for cultivation, and he has been sent out of the sect. ”
"What!"
Hearing this, the other four were a little surprised, looked at Tang Ping and waited for her to continue.
唐萍 says:
"After we come back, Tian Du and Jin Zhang can be relieved, not in a hurry, but Jing Ji can't, after all, his identity is special, and several senior brothers will start asking questions as soon as they bring him back to the sect. Well, I heard that Jing Ji has always been very arrogant, saying that he was framed by someone, and he denied everything in one bite. However, asking him is not the point, and secondly, he can't use any means against him, after all, he is a deep-rooted gentleman in the sect, and he always has to take care of the face of his elders. But this time we are taking his group to the nest, he doesn't say it doesn't matter, the sect will send people to ask other people, there is no taboo against those subordinate sects of Jing Ji, whether it is the Qi refining disciples who run errands for him or those who secretly do things for him, they are all interrogated by Yue Yinglin's senior brothers and sisters, and even Yue Yinglin's elders, under the interrogation of illusions, the confession is very amazing. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Ping sighed and continued:
"There are really a lot of people who have been harmed by them over the years, and they were so bold that they even harmed some disciples with a teacher's inheritance, and now those people are nowhere to be found, and the other Wuling disciples who have no teacher's inheritance and are destroyed in his hands are even more numerous, and the confessions that came out of the trial are shocking, which also includes the collusion between Jing Ji and Wen Liang, and the assignment of people to kidnap many innocent monks from outside the sect for Wen Liang to refine the jade pill, and other things that hurt the heavens and reason are really too many to write, and later they also used means against Tian Du and Jin Zhang, Only then did I know the reason why Jing Ji colluded with these two people, he not only colluded with the Tian family, but also was entrusted by Mu Yangzong to send the head of the Qian boy by Jin Zhang to make a big benefit, with these, even if Jing Ji died and didn't open his mouth, it was useless. ”
"After Jing Jian was brought back, the sect did not hide from Jing Jie's elders, and clearly told them about Jing Jie, and therefore, Jing Jie's elders naturally paid special attention to this matter, thinking about how to use to make Jing Jian exempt from punishment, but as more and more things were asked, more and more serious, and even asked out that the female disciple of an elder in the council hall was secretly captured by Jing Ji many years ago and then sold, and the elder was furious and wanted to kill Jing Ji, and he almost turned his face into an enemy against Jing Ji's elders, which can be imagined, what Jing Ji did has already provoked the anger of the heavens, and it is not something that his elders can solve. So, Jing Jie's elders invited an ancestor of Yuanying from the Jade Pot Mountain, also surnamed Jing, on the generation Jing Jian seemed to be called a grandfather, the patriarch in the council hall After reading all the confessions asked, he frowned and brushed his sleeves and didn't want to pay attention to this matter, but in the end he still left a sentence, let the sect save Jing Ji's life in his affection, and then left. I heard my sixth grandfather say that just yesterday, in front of all the elders in the council hall, Jing Ji was abolished for cultivation, and then he was sent out of the sect, and then he will inevitably be prosperous and rich for the rest of his life, but after a few decades, because he is no longer a monk, he will slowly age and finally die. ”
The monk was abolished, and it seemed that he had left a life and could continue to live, but in the eyes of the monk, this was a more terrible punishment than death.
Unlike the bankruptcy of the rich businessmen in the world, the bankruptcy of businessmen is only the dispersion of their property, and as long as they are there, there is still a chance to make a comeback. And once the monk is abolished, there will be no possibility of cultivation.
Originally, you could go to the sky and enter the earth, a thousand miles a day, and you can reach the peak at will, how carefree. And once it is abolished, no matter where you go, you have to walk on two legs, you will be tired and out of breath after walking for a long time, you will be hungry if you don't eat every meal three times a day, you will be tired if you don't sleep at night, you can no longer resist the heat and cold, and you will not have the strength to resist when you encounter any birds and beasts of prey in the mountains, which is the last thing the monk is willing to do. And the most important thing is that as long as you are a monk, only with your body cultivation, there is always the possibility of a breakthrough in the future, and your life span is far beyond that of ordinary people and even has the opportunity to ascend to the immortal, and once you are abolished and cultivated, then your life limit can be counted on your fingers, which is the biggest fear for monks.
Therefore, the punishment of Jing Ji is not too lenient.
However, Lu Pingchuan was still a little dissatisfied, and said hatefully:
"Hmph, it's still the cheap kid, at least he has a few more decades of good life."
