The location of the main hall is a main island in the center of Tianchi.

The Xuanyuan Sect is the suzerain at the top, and below the suzerain are the three halls that perform their own duties, among which the Wuzhen Hall is in charge of the military affairs of a sect, the Tongyuan Hall is in charge of the money of a sect, and the Zongzheng Hall is in charge of the laws and regulations of a sect. In the Xuanyuan Sect, as long as it involves violating the rules of the sect, the main hall of the sect is responsible for arrest, trial, detention and punishment.

The whole main hall is divided into three courtyards: front, middle and back. The front yard is where the main hall is located, and it is the place where the lord of the hall handles daily affairs and hears important cases. The middle courtyard is the resting place for the elders, stewards and disciples in the hall. The backyard is the place of the prison, where all the Xuan cultivators who have committed crimes are imprisoned, both inside and outside the sect.

At this time, on the main hall, He Gangzheng, the hall master of the main hall wearing an official uniform, stood aside with a respectful expression. On the main seat in the hall, there was a kind old man in a green shirt. The old man's head and beard were all white, but his face was unusually ruddy, exactly the same as the fairy with crane hair and childish face in the legend of the mortal world.

"Master, why did you come here all of a sudden?"

The old man glanced at his proud disciple and snorted coldly: "If you don't come here for the teacher, I'm afraid that the threshold of the dungeon of your main hall will be trampled on." ”

He Gang didn't care when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "They are willing to step on it, just let them step on it." Anyway, none of us can be offended!"

"Huh!"

The old man sneered and said, "You received the Bai family's decree, arrested the sect master's people, and now you are letting people go in and out of the dungeon, which is obviously to provide convenience for the Bai family." If you do this, who are you offending and who you are pleasing to please is well known to the teacher, so why do you have to pretend to be clever here. ”

He Gang was debunked by his master, his expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "It's just a nameless junior, why should the master go online!"

"Nobody?"

The old man sneered again and said, "The Bai family wants to kill him, and the sect master wants to protect him, such a character has become a nameless person in your mouth." Hall Master He, what a great majesty!"

Seeing that the old man's words were becoming more and more mean, He Gang couldn't help but change his expression, and said in a deep voice: "The apprentice is also the master of the first hall, even if he looks away this time, why should the master ridicule me so much for an outsider!"

"How?"

The old man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said coldly: "When you were pursuing Jing'er, what the old man said was a thousand times more unpleasant, and I have never seen you refute half a sentence." So far, his ability has not increased by half a point, but his temper has increased a lot. Why, do you think that there are enough henchmen in this main hall, or do you think that with the Bai family as a backer, you don't have to look at the face of the teacher anymore!"

He Gang was provoked by his own master, and his face instantly turned red.

At that moment, a steward suddenly burst into the temple. As soon as the steward entered, he noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere. He had no way to retreat, so he had to step forward and said respectfully: "The master of the Qi Palace, the old hall master, the people of the Bai family wanted to enter the dungeon to visit the prison, but they were stopped by someone on the periphery. Now that the two sides are facing each other, what should be done?"

He Gang frowned, and was about to speak, but he heard the old man beside him already sneer, and said: "Now, even some cats and dogs dare to come to my sect's main hall to spread wild!

When He Gang heard that the Bai family was also going to be expelled together, he couldn't help but change his expression, and shouted in a deep voice: "Master, please think twice!"

"Bastard, when will it be your turn to dictate things for the teacher?"

The old man waved his big hand as he spoke, and was about to throw the token, but he felt the ground tremble suddenly under his feet. At the same time, there was a buzzing sound overhead. The old man's expression changed, and he looked at He Gang on the side in disbelief, but saw that he was holding a key order in his hand, which was the control key order of the Zongzheng Palace's temple protection array.

"If you don't know whether you live or die, you really can't die!"

The old man shouted violently, and was about to reach out to stop his apprentice, but when he saw He Gang's expression change suddenly, the whole person flew out directly as if he had been hit by a hammer. He Gang was still flying in the air, and he spurted out a large mouthful of blood. The key order in his hand also came out of his hand, and turned into a streamer of light and shot out of the hall.

As soon as the key order flew to the door, a palm poked out of thin air and grabbed it in his hand. A moment later, the old man of the Zhao family, with a grim face, walked out out of thin air.

"Senior Brother Zhao!"

When the old man saw the ancestor of the Zhao family appear, he frowned and called in a low voice.

The ancestor of the Zhao family threw the figure he was holding in his hand forward, and threw it at the feet of He Gang, who had just gotten up from the ground. He Gang looked down, but saw that the person looked very familiar, it was a guest of the Bai family. This guest was thrown to the ground, but there was no reaction, and the breath on his body was extremely weak, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

The old ancestor glanced at He Gang indifferently, then turned his head to look at the old man in the hall, and said sarcastically: "Since you chose to be a wall grass, you have to be diligent on both sides, otherwise you don't know how you died when you die." Senior Brother He, you said yes, right?"

The sarcasm and threat in the words of the ancestor of the Zhao family were very obvious, but the old man who was called Senior Brother He by him did not dare to have the slightest temper. I saw the old man smile bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Zhao is very right, He has been taught. ”

Seeing him like this, the ancestor of the Zhao family snorted coldly, and casually threw the key order in his hand behind him. One sleeve flicked out of thin air, and the key was dragged into the void by it.

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but stare at him, and said secretly: "In addition to the ancestor of the Zhao family, there is actually someone else who is protecting that junior. This Bai family and the three doors and six households can be said to be facing each other, could it be that the scene from three hundred years ago is going to be repeated?"

Thinking so, the old man subconsciously glanced at He Gang who was standing aside, and saw that he was still staring at the figure on the ground and didn't know what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but sigh.

Three hundred years ago, the Bai family and the three doors and six households disputed, as the master of the Zongzheng Palace, in order to avoid causing trouble, he chose to not want to help, and finally the Bai family was undefeated and defeated, and the three doors and six households were invincible. He knew that he could not continue to be in charge of the main hall of the sect, so he saw the opportunity for the Bai family and the three families and six households to be suspicious of each other, and successfully promoted his apprentice He Gang to the position of the hall master.

But he never thought that as soon as the old man thought that the well-behaved and obedient He Gangshu was in power, he blatantly fell to the Bai family. On weekdays, the Bai family and the three doors and six households are safe, and the old man turns a blind eye and pretends not to see it. Now, seeing that the Bai family and the three doors and six households are about to have another dispute, but He Gang still fell to the Bai family one by one, the old man was worried that he would be burned, so he hurried to preside over the overall situation.

The old man saw that the ancestor of the Zhao family had taken away the key order of the temple protection array, but he was secretly relieved in his heart. In this way, no matter whether that junior is alive or dead, it has nothing to do with their main hall.

Although the ancestor of the Zhao family didn't treat this Senior Brother He very well, he didn't want to lose his courtesy, and he still bowed before leaving. Seeing this, the old man surnamed He returned the salute.

As soon as the ancestor of the Zhao family left, the old man's expression changed sharply, and he turned his head to the steward who was shrinking in the corner and said, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you carry people to the Bai family quickly!"

When the steward heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said yes, and hurriedly went out to summon someone. Until the Bai family was carried out of the main hall, He Gang still looked at the empty floor and was stunned.

Seeing that his apprentice was so unrelenting, the old man couldn't help frowning, and shouted, "He Gang!"

He Gang raised his head when he heard the sound, but his face was full of horror. I could only hear him muttering to himself: "I am the master of a hall under the sect master, how dare he!"

Seeing him like this, the old man's expression flashed a trace of unbearability, and he secretly said in his heart: "These people can still swing their swords at their own masters, not to mention small people like you and my master and apprentice." ”

Thinking like this, the old man couldn't help but sigh faintly, and said softly: "This dispute can make people move forward, and naturally it can also make people crushed. You listen to the advice of the teacher, don't risk your own life. ”

At the end of the old man's words, there was already a hint of supplication in his words.

He Gang raised his head when he heard this, and saw that the master, who was usually very strict with him, was already kind at this time, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his expression. He tilted his head to the side and whispered, "It's too late!"

"What did you say?"

The old man's eyes widened when he heard this, and the little kindness that had finally been revealed dissipated in an instant.

He Gang saw that his master was about to get angry again, his eyes flashed, and he whispered: "A month ago, Juan'er had fallen in love with a child of the Bai family and became a Taoist couple. ”

The old man sneered, what kind of affection, if it weren't for the matching of the parents of both sides, the male and female Xuan Xiu would not even have the opportunity to meet, how could they become Taoist couples so hastily.

The old man glanced at He Gang, and saw that although he, a well-behaved and obedient apprentice, was still standing there respectfully, there was a hint of smugness between his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Why is this!

Seeing this, He Gang's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Master, the matter has come to this. There's no turning back, so why don't we just do it!"

"Hahaha......"

Seeing that he was still obsessed, the old man couldn't help but laugh angrily, and said, "At this time, do you still think you can move him?

He Gang looked annoyed when he heard this, and his face immediately turned red. He opened his mouth to refute, but he couldn't think of the slightest rebuttal, so he snorted and twisted his head to the side.

When the old man saw He Gang like this, he no longer paid attention to him, and instead began to solve the dilemma in front of him.

For a while, there was silence in the main hall, allowing the pair of masters and apprentices with very different minds to ponder each other.
