Chapter 138: Pull the Tiger Skin, Pull the Banner!
Elder's Hall, Elder Mufeng's Courtyard.
Zhou Yan's body was covered with blood, even if he took the pill, his face was still extremely pale, and the wrist of his right arm was already wrapped with a bandage, but it was difficult to take it back from his palm.
The gifted young swordsman lost his sword-wielding right hand.
Zhou Yan's face was full of resentment, knelt in the courtyard and wept bitterly, and said in a desolate and sad voice: "Ask the master to be the master of the apprentice!"
He had shouted it so many times that his voice was a little hoarse.
In front of him, the door was shut.
Inside the room, there sat an old man and two young men.
It was Elder Mu Feng and Zhou Yan's two senior brothers.
"Master, this Ye Chong Xiao'er cut off Zhou Yan's senior brother's arm, it's really too much for anyone to see, the Elder Hall must punish him!"
Elder Mu Feng's second disciple, Ji Jinfeng said hatefully.
On weekdays, Zhou Yan has a very good relationship with him, because he is quite sympathetic to Zhou Yan's experience.
Elder Mu Feng didn't respond, but turned his head to look at another slightly older young man and said, "Jinping, what do you think?"
Liu Jinping, as the eldest disciple of Elder Mu Feng, is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but he is gentle like a middle-aged man, he is busy with cultivation on weekdays, and he rarely intersects with the two junior disciples.
I only heard him say slowly: "This matter started because of Senior Brother Zhou Yan, it was he who started to cut people, but in the end his skills were not as good as others, although Ye Chong broke his arm, he did not hurt his life, and he did not violate the rules of the Elder Hall." Besides, I privately think that this may not be a good thing for Senior Brother Zhou Yan, Senior Brother Zhou Yan is young and vigorous, and he is not very stable in his daily life, if today's events can teach him a lesson, let him be restrained in dealing with others, it will also be beneficial to his future practice. ”
As soon as Liu Jinping's words were finished, Ji Jinfeng's face immediately turned pale, "Senior brother can't help but say it too lightly, losing his right arm is tantamount to losing his life for a swordsman, and it can become a good thing? Besides, that Ye Chong kid is arrogant and arrogant, and dares to bully the elder disciples, won't we be laughed at if it is spread out?" According to what you said, I think that Ye Chong should get a lesson and teach him how to be a talent!"
Liu Jinping still smiled warmly, "What kind of person Ye Chong is, you and I have never seen it with our own eyes, how can we speculate on ourselves." Besides, I was a swordsman, practicing the way of the sword, the Tao is the foundation, the right hand holding the sword, the left hand holding the sword, are just a formality, I think with the qualifications of Zhou Yan's junior brother, only need to practice hard for a year or two, you can make the left hand sword and the right hand sword no difference. ”
"You ......" Ji Jinfeng flicked his sleeves hatefully, "You are helping outsiders!"
Liu Jinping just smiled and shook his head slightly, "No, no, no, Jin Ping just follows the rules of the Elder Hall, and he is not biased." I am also very sad about what happened to Senior Brother Zhou Yan, but the elder disciples should convince people with reason, and not fall into the hands of others, otherwise it will really affect the prestige of the master in the Hall of Elders. ”
Ji Jinfeng looked at his senior brother's gentle appearance, and he was so angry that he was about to stomp his feet.
At this time, Duan Mufeng finally stopped being silent, he got up leisurely and said: "Jin Ping is right, Yan'er's skills are not as good as others, he is to blame, and all the consequences should be borne by him alone, Jin Feng, you go out and tell him that if you can't learn the lesson of this time and practice the left-handed sword well, then don't come to see me as a master again in the future." ”
By the end, his voice had become a little cold.
It was Zhou Yan, who was kneeling on the ground outside the door, and he heard it clearly, and he clenched his left fist in an instant, his face full of unwillingness.
"Master?" Ji Jinfeng was just about to persuade when he saw Elder Mu Feng's long sleeves wave.
"Stand down!"
A strong wind suddenly rose and pushed Ji Jinfeng out of the door.
With a creak, the door to the main hall was closed again.
Ji Jinfeng stomped his feet hatefully, then turned his head, came to Zhou Yan's side, and comforted: "Senior brother, you should have heard what the master said, so let's go and recuperate first." ”
Zhou Yan suddenly looked awkward, stood up, his pale face finally glanced at the closed door, brushed his sleeves and wiped the tears on his face, and was disheartened.
"Since the master doesn't make the decision for you, but it doesn't stop me from seeking justice for you, you can rest for two days and heal your injuries, and then I will take you to level the Seven Xuanzong!" Seeing this, Ji Jinfeng immediately showed a touch of ruthlessness in his eyes, patted Zhou Yan's shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, you can't let others see our jokes!"
Hearing his words, Zhou Yan finally barely cheered up, and he nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother!"
"Fellow disciples, don't talk about these ......"
The two walked out of the Mufeng Courtyard side by side.
In the main hall, Duan Mufeng's face was not shocked, and suddenly released two essences, looked at his eldest disciple, and said, "Jinping, what do you think about this matter?"
Something that seemed to have been decided just now, Elder Mu Feng asked again at this time.
But Liu Jinping was not surprised at all, but had expected it, and said with a smile: "The two junior brothers are still a little reckless, this Ye Chong is a person from the Dantang after all, although he has not officially become a disciple of the Dantang elder, but if he spits on us and rashly retaliates, he will definitely have a problem with the Dantang elder." Now in the entire Sword Shrine, the Dantang Elder seems to be the most indisputable, but he is also the most contentious, although he is ranked eighth in the Elders' Hall, below you, but he is the most famous in the heart of the Sword Slave, because everyone is looking for his elixir. ”
"At present, there are three elders in the Elder Hall, and it seems that they are all about to abdicate, and the Elder Hall will also rearrange their seats, so it is best for us to avoid their edge for the time being, so as not to fall into the hands of others. Of course, although the master said that Ye Chong would not be held accountable, the second junior brother would naturally go to help Zhou Yan get justice, and when the time comes, the matter will be big, even if Elder Dantang is not angry in his heart, he can't blame you. Besides, that little Ye Chong is indeed not worthy of your own anger. ”
It's still a warm tone, but in it, there is an old-fashioned analysis of the entire form of the sword mound.
Elder Mu Feng nodded with satisfaction, picked up a cup of hot tea beside him, and drank it all.
......
Purple Bamboo Forest, Seven Xuanzong.
As soon as Ye Chong and Lu Shan came back, they were surrounded by Shui Xi'er and them.
From Shui Zhu'er's mouth, they all learned about Ye Chong's cutting off the arm of Elder Mu Feng's disciple, Zhou Yan. Although after hearing about the whole reason and process, they all felt very happy, but at the same time, they were also worried that not long after they had just stabilized from the conflict with Qi Huang, they attracted the revenge of Elder Mu Feng and his family.
Lu Shan was the last to know the whole thing, patting his thigh and scolding Zhou Yan repeatedly, but in the end, he also said with some concern: "What should we do next?" Elder Mufeng, he has calmed down a lot in the past few years, but I remember the impression I had of him when I was a child, that he was a very obedient and ruthless old man. ”
Xiao Shui Zhu'er said with guilt on her face: "It's me who has caused everyone." ”
Ye Chong smiled, touched her head and said, "It's okay, I've already thought of a countermeasure." ”
The people of the Seven Xuanzong Sect were not only surprised, but also asked what the countermeasures were.
Ye Chong simply sat on the ground and explained to everyone: "This incident, in itself, is that they want to grab the sword, and it is also Zhou Yan who first wants to cut Shui Zhu'er's arm, although in the end his arm was cut off by me, but this matter really needs to be investigated, and we don't care about it." Even in the Hall of Elders, it is not Elder Mu Feng who is in charge alone, so I don't think they will use the prestige of the elders to suppress us. ”
"How is it possible? You cut it down but it's his apprentice!" Lu Shan frowned and said, "If someone cuts my apprentice, I definitely can't bear it!"
"Dead fatty, let's talk about it when you have an apprentice, I think what Ye Chong said makes sense, let's not take care of it, Duan Mufeng should take care of his status as an elder." Qu Yao nodded instead.
"That makes sense, but is this really the end of this matter so simple?" Shui Xi'er said worriedly.
"It's not over. Elder Mu Feng takes care of his identity and doesn't care about us juniors, but he still has apprentices, and Zhou Yan also has two senior brothers, so it is difficult to protect them, and he will not come to embarrass our Seven Xuanzong. "Sword Shadow is the most thorough, "This matter is caused by a dispute, they will definitely not reason with us, the most likely, it is to cut off Ye Chong's arm as well, and then severely damage our Seven Xuanzong Sect, so that they can vent their anger, and at the same time, it is also possible that they want to use this to warn other sword slaves and show their identity as elder disciples." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, you say that, there is really such a possibility, I heard that Elder Mu Feng's eldest disciple Liu Jinping never participates in the fight, and he is the most peaceful, but the second disciple Ji Jinfeng has a violent temper, and he is extremely good-looking, and loves reputation, I think Zhou Yan may move him here this time. Ji Jinfeng had already reached the Four Heavens of the Earth Palace Realm two years ago, although he failed to break into the Sealing Mountain for the first time, everyone felt that in a few years, when he was twenty-nine years old, he would still be very promising. This man is a ruthless man, we don't have the strength to fight him now!" Lu Shan kept sighing. This guy has always been a pessimist in front of his own people, but when he really faces his opponent, he is often the most unambiguous and the first to make a move.
This time, Qu Yao rarely did not refute Fat Lu, because what he said was a fact recognized by everyone.
"Damn, I hate this kind of opponent who can't beat him the most, and he can't help it!" Qu Yao said one after another.
"Hey, that's because of this, so we have to work harder to cultivate, so that others don't dare to provoke it. Ye Chong shook his head and said, "But we haven't really reached a situation where we are powerless and ready to be killed. ”
He said leisurely: "Last time, we used Lu Yuanba's hand to get rid of Qi Xianming and relieve us of the biggest crisis. This time, we can also rely on external forces to resolve the crisis, and not only this time, but we must always make those who see us as weak change their opinion of us, so that they no longer dare to provoke us easily. If there is really someone behind Zhou Yan to retaliate, we will be the first to open the knife!"
In the scorching gaze of everyone in the Seven Xuanzong Sect, Ye Chong gave his final countermeasure.
"Lu Shan and I are people from the Dantang, and we have the power of alchemy every month, so we might as well use the pill as bait to seek refuge like those sects that are powerful enough to protect us. Our Seven Xuanzong people are weak and weak, this can be regarded as paying protection money, but it can also be called pulling tiger skins and pulling the banner!"
