Chapter 159: A rake
The scene in the hall at the moment is extremely chaotic, if it weren't for the scruples about face, maybe these academicians with extremely high status would have rolled up their arms and sleeves and started to do it.
But even if it is the way it is now, if the students outside see it, it is estimated that they will be shocked by the eyeballs.
Who would have thought that academicians, who usually look highly respected, would be blushing and thick-necked in this hall like shrews scolding the street?
A few of them are even more excessive, arguing face to face, and the saliva is spraying on each other's faces, could it be used as a weapon?
Although Meng Yifan had a headache, he still had to stop the controversy, after all, looking at the appearance of these guys, it is estimated that there will be no result in the quarrel at night, and he can't hold it!
At the same time, he was also very curious, what kind of tonic do these old men take on weekdays, and why do they fight so fiercely?
"Ahem...... Academicians, pause for a moment, pause! Meng Yifan pressed his hands and said loudly.
Then the quarrel ceased for a moment, and the old men turned to look at him, and then went on.
Meng Yifan held his forehead with both hands, speechless! It's really convinced, and I don't give it face! In desperation, he could only speak again and shouted:
"Be quiet!" At this time, the square-faced old man in black and white Confucian clothes said to Meng Yifan:
"Vice Dean Meng, you wait a minute, and I'll take down this old horseman first!" Meng Yifan's face turned dark when he heard this, and he said in his heart You are too bad at talking, you always treat that
Why is the word "vice" on your lips, it really is! Besides, when you finish arguing, the daylily will be cold!
Of course, he knew that this square-faced old academician was not a bad person, but he had a straight intestine, and he spoke more impulsively, and he was still a quick temper, and he would always inadvertently offend many people.
But because of his high rank and great knowledge, not many people dare to trouble him easily! As soon as the square-faced old man's voice fell, the thin old man opposite sneered disdainfully:
"Just you? It's not that I underestimate you, but you want to argue with me, it's hundreds of years earlier! Hearing this, the square-faced old man was furious and said:
"I don't believe it yet!" Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel again, Meng Yifan hurriedly separated them, and at the same time glanced at Xie Yuan, who was located below.
The latter understood and said:
"Dean Meng, fellow elders, according to what the students said this time, it is indeed the Xuantian Sect that set up the bureau first, and we only acted out of self-preservation!" As soon as these words came out, the academicians present were silent for a moment.
In fact, they knew the whole story of this incident from the beginning, and the facts are very clear. The reason why there is such a controversy mainly comes from a letter, a letter from the Xuantian Sect Elders' Court!
As mentioned in the letter, the kidnapping of Qian Duoduo, a disciple sent by the academy, by Xuantian Sect is completely false, but it is said that it is all Liu Chuanghe
The purpose of the bureau set up by the "Thousand Puppet Sect" in collusion is to seek the emperor-level exercises obtained by Zhou Luxi and his party in the ruins.
And Lin Yan and Yuan Hao, whether they were kept in the dark or knowingly committed, they all really participated in the action against their Xuantian Sect, so the Elders' House asked the academy to hand over these two people for severe punishment!
Especially Lin Yan, according to Elder Wu De, it is very likely that he will collude with a mysterious master to brutally kill Elder Zhou Luxi, and he must be asked to confess the person behind the scenes!
As for Liu Chuang, although the crime was extremely heinous, and he killed Elder Shen Nian with great ferocity, Nian no longer targeted his body when he was dead.
It's just that the academy must remove it and announce it to the world! As soon as the content of this letter came out, it instantly caused an uproar!
It is the different attitudes towards this matter that led to this controversy. The thin old man snorted coldly and said:
"Xiao Xie, you are still too young! What the students said was just their words, even if we believed it, do you think the people of Xuantian Sect would believe it? Xie Yuan, who was located below, smiled bitterly, his status in the academy on weekdays was not low, at least much higher than Liu Chuang, after all, the strength of the middle stage of the innate realm was there!
But in the face of this group of old guys, call him
"Xiao Xie" He could only pinch his nose and suffer. If you really want to talk about it, he's just a junior.
Take the two old men who quarreled the most fiercely, the square-faced academician was named Tu Lie, with a fiery personality, and he was from the academy
"Conservatives", who follow the ancient rites and worship the ancestors, believe that literati have their own style and should go straight.
And the thin academician is Qin Zheng, who is in the academy
"Reformists". Unlike Tu Lie, he believes that the present time is different from the past, and that at a time when the academy is declining, it is more important to actively seek ways to reform and strengthen cooperation with other forces.
For example, the Xuantian Sect that is in full swing is a good choice. The two factions do not deal with each other very well on weekdays, there are many differences, and the contradictions are particularly deep, and this incident is undoubtedly the fuse that completely detonated!
Tu Lie listened to Qin Zheng's words, flicked his sleeves, and said:
"Old horseman, don't teach bad juniors! Isn't it just that the old immortals of the Xuantian Sect Elders' House have a letter, and you old boy are cowardly? What else to pack! Qin Zheng was furious when he heard this, and said in his heart, isn't this a slap in the face to his face?
Then he said angrily:
"Tu Lie, you don't put a shelf on me! What is the weight of the joint letter of the Xuantian Sect Elders' House, you don't know! Now that the Dean is not here, do you really think that you want to put an end to this matter without paying any price? ”
"Once the matter is big, will you bear the responsibility or me? If it turns into a conflict between the two religions, you are a historical sinner! Tu Lie stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Zheng and said:
"The surname is Qin, you don't scare me, Lao Tzu is not scared when he lives so old! What happened to Xuantian Sect? What about the House of Elders? Let me tell you, they are completely upside down, shameless, and have the ability to confront them face to face! Qin Zheng sneered and said:
"It's not that I'm talking about you, you're still so naïve after living so old! Let me ask you, what is the right thing to confront you face-to-face? The disciples of their Xuantian Sect insisted that Zhou Luxi was deceived by the people of the 'Thousand Puppet Sect', and the mastermind behind the scenes was Liu Chuang. ”
"Now that the two elders who are the parties are dead, can you still dig them out of the soil? They can completely say that the testimony of our students is only one-sided, a pre-prepared statement, and they will not recognize it at all! Tu Lie clenched his fists, paced back and forth excitedly, and said:
"Reversing black and white, distorting the facts, is there any royal law?" Qin Zheng sneered and said:
"Wang Fa? What is the status of Xuantian Sect? You ask Li Tang's emperor if he dares to use his royal law to take care of this matter? Do you dare to take this lead for the academy? Tu Lie's face was pale, but he also understood that it was difficult for the secular royal law to restrain the three sects.
If it's just some ordinary disciples, once it comes to the high-level, the secular dynasty is generally out of the way, at best, it acts as a mediator, in order to prevent the fight between them from causing dynastic turmoil, that's all!
If they have to meddle in the affairs of the three religions, talk about their ugliness, and judge right and wrong, it will be embarrassing!
At this time, Meng Yifan came out to play a round and said:
"There is still some time, and this matter will be discussed later. The top priority is to first deal with the aftermath of Liu Chuang's teaching and other sacrificed students, this is more important and cannot be delayed any longer! Anyway, there was no result for a while, and the academicians of the two factions agreed to Meng Yifan's proposal.
Tu Lie was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Zheng's arguments, but he couldn't find any powerful reason to refute them for a while, and finally walked away angrily, and said as he walked:
"How can this be true? Outrageous! After a while, the academicians left one after another, and only Meng Yifan and Xie Yuan were left in the hall.
At this time, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was really those old academicians who were too difficult!
Although these academicians have been stabilized temporarily, the matter is still far from being resolved, in the final analysis, Liu Chuang's record this time is too amazing!
In fact, it stands to reason that Xuantian Sect's Zhou Luxi set up a bureau to intercept and kill the academy and his party, and Liu Chuang and others were the real victims.
However, who would have thought that in the face of a group of masters, Liu Chuang would actually kill several enemies in a row, and even slash Shen Nian with a knife in one step, which really amazed everyone, and at the same time made the old guys of Xuantian Sect feel sincerely afraid!
If Liu Chuang is allowed to continue to grow, he will inevitably be a big enemy. Fortunately, Liu Chuang died, but they did not plan to expose the matter easily, but took the opportunity to attack and seek more benefits.
After all, the death of two elders this time can be called a heavy loss! If this matter is lightly revealed, then wouldn't it mean that anyone can come and touch the people of their Xuantian Sect in the future?
So what's the deal? As for who is right and who is wrong, this is not a matter for them to consider, all they care about is the dignity of Xuantian Sect that cannot be provoked!
The House of Elders had already learned about Lin Yan's unusual performance from Zong Chai and other disciples, and at the same time, it also knew Zhou Yanxi's speculation about it.
And with the end of this interception, this speculation has been infinitely close to the truth of the facts, and this truth is enough to make them act regardless of their identity.
And at this moment, Meng Yifan was also very angry in his heart, but there was no good way. The reason why Xuantian Sect dared to be so arrogant was nothing more than that his fist was big enough!
Meng Yifan sighed and thought:
"'Useless is a scholar'! The ancients did not deceive me! "You reason with others, but they are unreasonable, that is, they use power to oppress people, what do you say you can do?
At the same time, he was also very puzzled, what secrets did Lin Yan have in this kid that deserved Xuantian Sect's name for him?
According to what I learned from Xie Yuan, there are many doubts about the death of Zhou Shuxi and others, not necessarily Liu Chuang's hand, so there may be other people.
Also, Zhou Shuxi must have a plan for this interception, and the thing he is looking for is very likely to be on Lin Yan's body.
"Looks like I'm going to talk to him again soon!" Thinking so, Meng Yifan instructed Xie Yuan to prepare for the funeral of Liu Chuang and the other sacrificed people as soon as possible, and at the same time make sure that Lin Yan came to see him again before the funeral began.
Xie Yuan took the order and left, leaving Meng Yifan alone in the palace. He walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, but he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, and he couldn't help but become more and more irritable.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the letter sent by the Xuantian Sect Elders' Academy, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and then he directly reached out and copied it and tore it to pieces!
He kept cursing in his mouth:
"Damn Xuantian Sect! It's too much of a deception! It's too much of a deception! Then he calmed down, looked at the scraps of paper scattered on the ground, and said:
"Dean, when are you coming back?"
