Chapter 134: Reasoning
About an hour later, several figures appeared not far from the council hall, slowly walking this way.
Murong Di opened his eyes and saw that one of them was Xu Huaigu, and Fan Xuan was also on the side. In addition to this, there was a woman walking side by side with him.
This woman's face was unfamiliar, and Murong Di had never seen her before. Xu Huaigu glanced at this meeting hall a few times, and saw that the decoration here was similar to the ancestral halls of various sects, only one floor high, and the pursuit of simplicity was as simple as possible.
In addition to the necessary tables and chairs, there were only a few futons and incense burners. Fan Xuan stood still outside the threshold, bowed inward and said, "Master, two elders, Xu Huaigu has already brought it." Murong Di opened his mouth and said, "Please Xu Daoyou come in." "Commensurate with a Taoist friend, this is already treating him as an equal.
Although the two are very different in age, in the monk world, they only call each other according to their strength, and their seniority is in front of the realm, which is something that can be talked about or not.
Now that Murong Di opened his mouth, he called him Daoyou, which was equivalent to expressing his attitude. Xu Huaigu smiled, stepped into the threshold generously, and Yu Qin also walked in.
Fan Xuan brought the road and was about to leave, but Murong Di stopped her and said, "Xuan'er, you also come in." So Fan Xuan had no choice but to nod yes, walked into the conference hall, and stood beside Murong Di.
Murong Di pointed to a chair beside him and said with a smile, "Xu Daoyou, please take a seat." Xu Huaigu stood at the door and said with a smile: "You don't have to sit." When I came up the mountain now, I wanted to ask Elder Murong about two things, and the elder gave me an answer, so I immediately went down the mountain without delaying the time of the elders. Murong Di nodded and said, "Please speak." Xu Huaigu looked at the three elders present, and he didn't say much, only smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "It's all two old things, Elder Murong and nobles forget a lot, I'm afraid I don't remember it for a long time, but I still remember it clearly." ”
"This first." He stretched out a finger with a serious expression,
"I don't know if Elder Murong still remembers that in the Battle of Binxi more than ten years ago, there was a girl named Li Zi?" Murong Di nodded and said, "Remember, it couldn't be clearer." She was a disciple of Sun Xiang and later went to Middle-earth. I haven't seen her since, and we've only met each other. Xu Huaigu smiled meaninglessly: "Then the elder should still remember, how did you make things difficult for her in the first place?" Murong Di frowned slightly and said, "That's just in case." At that time, Sun Xiang ate that Ying Ya trick and did not die, which was somewhat strange, so I paid more attention to that girl. Xu Daoyou said that it was difficult, and it was a bit too much. Xu Huaigu said word by word: "I'm not standing here today because I want to hear what the elders say. Since the elder suspects the wrong person, I just want the elder to apologize to the girl back then. This request should not be excessive, right? The other two elders all looked at Murong Di, she pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "She is not in Dongfu Yaozhou now, how can I apologize to her?" ”
"The elder said the same thing to me, and when I saw her, I would naturally tell her." Hearing Xu Huaigu's words, Fan Xuan was a little nervous.
She secretly glanced at her master's face, but when she saw that it was as plain as water, she couldn't help but be even more worried.
His own master has always been an extremely majestic image in the sect. Although he rarely loses his temper, most of the time he has such an incomprehensible expression, but he is not angry and arrogant.
Now Xu Huaigu wants the master to apologize to a junior in front of the faces of the two elders, which is really a bit embarrassing.
She was afraid that her master would temporarily change his mind and be unfavorable to Xu Huaigu, so that she would be caught in the middle and it would be difficult for her to be a person.
However, Murong Di was only silent for a moment, and then replied calmly: "I have done this before, and I should apologize to her." I'm sorry. Fan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Huaigu with a slight frown, hoping that he wouldn't say anything aggressive.
Xu Huaigu smiled with satisfaction and said, "I have already heard Elder Murong's apology. I'll tell her that when the time comes, it's up to her what she says. Murong Di nodded slightly, which was already very polite.
Xu Huaigu stretched out his second finger and said, "As for this second thing, it is related to me." Everyone looked at him together, so Xu Huaigu looked at Murong Di seriously and said, "After the Zixia Sect Dao Meeting back then, there were many rumors about my collusion with the demon clan in the monk world for no reason, which made me looked down upon everywhere. I have also checked the source of the rumors, and it faintly points to the Zixia Sect. Zixia Sect spread rumors and ruined my reputation, Elder Murong must give an explanation for this matter, right? Murong Di frowned and replied, "Everyone saw Xu Daoyou's performance at the Taoist meeting back then. There is a demon woman who came to rescue you in person, and even the black pupil who rarely shows up has come, and this is not just my Zixia Sect people who have seen it. Everyone knows that Hei Tong is a member of the Demon Sect, so naturally they can't help but have doubts about the relationship between Xu Daoyou and the Demon Clan. There are many people who have seen this with their own eyes, and it is inevitable that there will be villains secretly causing trouble, why should I blame it on the head of my Zixia Sect? I'm afraid Xu Daoyou misunderstood. Xu Huaigu sneered: "Of course there are many people who have seen it, but I dare to say that the Zixia Sect spreads rumors, and naturally there is also evidence of mine." Murong Di shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this. Xu Huaigu frowned, half-squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Then speaking of which, is Elder Murong ready to rely on it and not admit it?" Murong Di frowned and didn't speak, as if he was weighing in his heart.
Xu Huaigu looked at her coldly, his face was very ugly, and he didn't have any intention of compromising at all.
The atmosphere in the field was tense, and Fan Xuan's heart was in her throat, for fear that the two sides would fight if they disagreed.
At this moment, another elder suddenly sighed, interrupted the silence, and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, listen to me." So everyone looked at him together, only to see him pause, and then said: "Actually, there was such a thing back then, and our Zixia Sect did secretly incite some monks, saying that the relationship between Xu Daoyou and the demon clan was not clear. It's just that the people who do it are poor, and no one else knows. Elder Murong had a high heart, how could he bother to do such a thing? Xu Daoyou questioned her, but he asked the wrong person, and this matter should be the fault of the poor Dao. When Xu Huaigu heard someone admit it, his face softened, and he looked coldly at the elder who spoke.
Murong Di also looked at him and asked coldly, "Is there really such a thing!" The elder felt embarrassed and nodded helplessly.
In fact, the rumors of collusion between Xu Huaigu and the demon clan were spread back then, and Cui Ku still meant it to him, but now that he was asked by Xu Huaigu, if he told Cui Ku too, it would be even more shameless to be known that the master of the Zixia Sect could do such a shameless thing.
So he simply recognized it himself, and said: "It's all poor Dao who was narrow-minded back then, and seeing Xu Daoyou's infinite scenery, while my Zixia Sect was defeated and confused for a while, so there was such a thing." How offended, Poor Dao is here to compensate Xu Daoyou. ”
"Isn't it a loss?" Xu Huaigu laughed angrily and sneered a few times,
"How many years have passed, and how many monks have heard the rumors and secretly cursed me? The elder only sat in the council hall and said that he would pay me a lot, but he didn't know the eyes of the people around me when I reported my name in Xicheng! This matter can't just be a loss, isn't it that simple! Not only Xu Huaigu, but even Murong Di looked at the elder coldly, and he almost didn't question on the spot.
The elder knew that he was wrong, so he had to admit it all, and said: "I will spread the news again, and I will say that the incident back then was made by my Zixia Sect, and Xu Daoyou is an upright and decent monk, and he has nothing to do with the demon clan." Does Xu Daoyou think this is okay? "The words that were said were like water spilled out, and the events at that time had already been spread by most of the East Fuyao Continent were all known, and now to bring it up again will only make people feel more suspicious.
Xu Huaigu was very dissatisfied with this result. Murong Di knew in his heart, so he had to say: "This matter is indeed my Zixia Sect's, the elder spread it privately, and even I didn't know about it." Regarding the loss of Xu Daoyou's reputation caused by this incident, I will give reasonable compensation. The matter has come to this point, I hope Xu Daoyou can understand. "One of the main purposes of Xu Huaigu's coming up the mountain is to get the genuine compensation of the Zixia Sect, and now that Murong Di said it himself, he can't let go of this opportunity.
Xu Huaigu frowned and asked, "Compensation?" What can be done to compensate for my reputation? Murong Di said: "Ten colored bead coins, how about it?" Xu Huaigu sneered: "Ten colored beads, Elder Murong has a good account, and those who don't know still think that this is a flower child!" Murong Di's face turned pale, and he looked fiercely at the elder who had admitted that he had spread rumors.
The elder also knew that Xu Huaigu was not easy to dismiss, but he was afraid that the Zixia Sect would really have some blood. There was silence in the council hall for a moment, and the elder suddenly said, "This is all poor Dao, and it should be compensated by Poor Dao." Xu Daoyou, Poor Dao compensated you for a fairy soldier, what do you think? Fan Xuan pursed her lips, a little unwilling in her heart, but she didn't show it.
That is an immortal soldier, although the Zixia Sect is at a loss, if it is a loss for an immortal soldier, then Xu Huaigu will also make a sure profit, and he only hopes that it will be good to settle the matter from now on.
But Xu Huaigu just smiled and said, "The elder is willing to pay a handful of immortal soldiers, and I can see the sincerity." However, I'm just a sword cultivator, what do you want the Taoist immortal soldiers of the Zixia Sect to do? I don't need this immortal soldier, I only have one condition, if Elder Murong agrees, the grievances will be eliminated from now on. Fan Xuan looked at him, extremely nervous.
Xu Huaigu didn't even want immortal soldiers, but he didn't know what kind of conditions he wanted to propose? My own master has already given in a lot, but I really don't want to make any excessive demands.
When the elder who said that he wanted to pay for the immortal soldiers heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, which was really funny.
Murong Di took a deep breath, sat upright, and said solemnly, "Xu Daoyou, please speak." Xu Huaigu said word by word: "I want Elder Murong to gather the disciples of the entire Zixia Sect and tell the truth of what happened back then. I, Xu Huaigu, have not colluded with the demon clan, they are all my friends. In addition, if you want someone who can represent the entire Zixia Sect, you can apologize to me. "There was silence in the council chamber, and pins could be heard.
Everyone had different expressions on their faces, Murong Di's face was still as calm as water, and Fan Xuan clenched his fists slightly, sweating for Xu Huaigu.
"If you do something wrong, you should take it for yourself. I just need to apologize to the person who did wrong, this is not too much to ask, right? This is also a truth that I want to talk to Elder Murong when I go up the mountain here. Xu Huaigu looked around at the three elders in the chamber, also glanced at Fan Xuan, and continued,
"When I was still studying in the school, I knew the truth that I had to apologize for doing something wrong, and you are all monks who have practiced for a hundred years in the immortal family, and you should know it."
"So in the future, not only me, but I hope that the Zixia Sect can meet anyone, even if he has no cultivation and is just a mortal, he can treat each other equally." Xu Huaigu looked closely at Murong Di's eyes, and slowly spit out the words: "I once heard a saying, there is no reason in the world, whoever has a hard fist is the truth, but I don't think so." I hope that I will come up the mountain today, and Elder Murong's apology to me is that he sincerely feels that he is at fault, not because of my current state. This is what I want to talk to Elder Murong, what does Elder think? Everyone present was looking at him, and their eyes did not move in the slightest.
Fan Xuan opened her lips slightly, only feeling that when Xu Huaigu said this truth, it was really as if he had become a Confucian sage who opened up rituals and music and made words and books.
There's a word that could not be more appropriate to describe this scene, but what does that word come about? As the sun shines. Yu Qin stood beside him, looked at his side face, and smiled.
This is the person she knows, and the person she likes. Coming from the mortal world, spotless and clear as a teenager at that time.

She sighed softly, nodded, and said, "I can't refuse you, I can only promise you." Again, it was me who was wrong, and I have to say again, I'm sorry. Xu Huaigu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled and nodded.
Today's truth, there should still be some people here who have listened to it. However, it is easier said than done, and how they should do it in the future is a different matter.
