The morning light is bright, the scorching sun shines on the earth, the autumn wind blows, a fallen leaf flutters on the ground, the sparse branches fall mottled afterimage, a small cloth boot with a little mud on it, gently stepping on the yellow fallen leaves, making a crisp sound.

When Xie Chang fled with Wu Xing, he went in the direction of Jinyang, when Wu Xing left, he did not go towards Jinyang, nor did he go to Ruyin, but chose a random direction, and then went to Ruyin at this time, which is equivalent to going around a big circle, Xin Hao is close to the border of Xidi, desolate on all sides, there are no people, Wu Xing can quietly think about where he should go.

After walking for a long time, and finally returned to the official road, Wu Xing lowered his eyes and carried heavy steps, and suddenly saw smoke and dust in front of him, and a line of vague black shadows gradually approached.

Wu Xing felt something, stopped, and waited until the black shadow was close before she saw clearly that it was rows of black cloaks.

The first man in a blue shirt rode a white horse, and he tightened the reins to stop the horse, looking at the little girl in the middle of the road with a complicated expression.

Wu Xing raised his eyelids to look at the man on the white horse, his dry lips rolled twice, and he whispered out two words, "Sir." ”

Her voice was very small, but her husband's internal strength was deep and his ears were amazing, so he should be able to hear it, but he didn't answer, so Wu Xing's knees suddenly weakened, and he fell to the ground with a thud, raising gray-yellow dust.

She had barely knelt since the day her husband gave her her name.

Seeing that she lowered her head and drooped her head as if she was admitting her mistake, Cheng Yanqiu sighed helplessly, pinched the horse's belly and let the horse come to her, leaned down and reached out to pick up Wu Xing and take the horse, turned around and went back, "Let's go, go home." ”

Wu Xing's eyes suddenly moistened, she didn't understand, why could Mr. be so gentle with her, didn't he know what she had done?

Cheng Yanqiu didn't ask her anything, so she was silent and didn't speak, and when Song Ningye was recalled, they didn't wait for Li Yanyun, so they went to Shouchun first.

Shouchun is the intersection of the Hun River and the Xiangshui River, Longquan Lake is also connected with this, take the waterway from Shouchun, all the way to the east, it only takes a few days to return to Dongyang, Cheng Yanqiu does not want to deal with them anymore and add trouble, so he plans to leave someone to explain to Li Yanyun and them, and then take a boat back to Dongyang.

It's just that he didn't expect that Yang Qingzhu, who has rarely left the sect, was waiting for him in Shouchun with Fu Chengshuo of Tai'amen.

Seeing Fu Chengshuo's smiling appearance, Cheng Yanqiu knew that the person who came was not good, but he smiled quietly, "Xie Changye has been ambushed, you can rest easy from now on." ”

"No, no, no. Fu Chengshuo shook his head and sighed, "Although Xie Chang is ambushed, but the whereabouts of the floating Gu are still unknown, I received a flying pigeon biography from Li Guanzhu, Xie Chang is also followed by a little girl, that little girl is Mr. Cheng's beloved apprentice, that little girl is the last person Xie Chang contacted before he died, I don't know if I can please come out and ask one or two?"

He said a polite inquiry, but it was a tone that could not be refused.

Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said, "Since the master of the Fu sect knows that it is my beloved apprentice, she has been frightened a lot during the period of time that she was taken away by Xie Chang, how can Cheng bear her to recall that experience again? ”

Fu Chengshuo put on a righteous appearance, "Mr. Cheng is wrong, the Floating Gu is the thing of the ghost master Xie Chang, and its effect can be all up to Xie Chang's nonsense with one mouth, if there is any bad harm and is not discovered in time, Mr. Cheng will harm your beloved disciple." ”

"Oh?" Cheng Yanqiu laughed angrily at him, "Not to mention whether there is a floating Gu on my apprentice, why didn't Xie Chang keep it for himself to save his life, just because the floating Gu had been on that Changyang Gongzi for two years before, I didn't see the Fu Sect Master so worried, and now he cares so much about my apprentice, I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, he covets that Floating Life Gu, and wants to use that Gu to create another Xie Chang for your use? I didn't expect this righteous leader Fu Sect Master to be so punishable!"

"Fu can't afford this, the Floating Gu can take the anger of others for his own use, how can such an evil Gu survive in the world? My generation should destroy this in the world and never see the light of day again! Fu Mou is completely selfless in this trip, just for the sake of the world, Mr. Cheng should not take my warning words as a sinister heart!"

Fu Chengshuo looked dignified, Cheng Yanqiu asked again, "Can you find a second person who is proficient in Gu art in the world?" My apprentice is just a young child, how can you tell if she has a floating Gu on her?"

"It's simple, Master Li Guan has sent a message to me, in order to avoid the Gu worms in Xie Chang's body, Xie Chang's body has been incinerated, but a small part is still left to be sealed, so as not to be prepared, it is rumored that the floating Gu is the king of the Gu, and the ordinary Gu worms dare not be injured, and when Li Guanzhu arrives, the sealed Gu worm is placed on the little girl's body, and you can know whether the floating Gu is on her body or not. Fu Chengshuo said as a matter of course, it seems that it is normal to put a Gu worm who doesn't know what its function is on an innocent little girl.

Cheng Yanqiu laughed angrily, "I didn't expect you, the leader of the righteous path, to be even more heartbroken than me, an evil person, and to put an innocent child in fire and water, forgive Cheng Mou for not agreeing and saying goodbye!"

After that, Cheng Yanqiu was about to turn around and lead the sect to leave, Wu Xing sat silently in the room with his head bowed, listening to the quarrel in the hall outside the door, a little depressed.

Song Ning also patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "It doesn't have to be like this, even if it's not you, they will find something to do from the beginning." ”

Outside the door, Fu Chengshuo stepped forward to stop Cheng Yanqiu, and said with a threatening tone, "Even if Mr. Cheng firmly believes that the floating Gu is not in that little girl, it is an indisputable fact that she helped Xie Chang hurt Xuanzhenguan's Li Guan Master in the inn, this matter has to be explained, and that little girl must be handed over to us!"

Speaking of which, I still want to keep Wu Xing, and I want the floating Gu that is very likely to exist in her.

"I was injured by an immature child, that is because he is not good at martial arts, and he is embarrassed to say it! The injury is injured, I have the ability in vain, I am naturally proud of her, if you want to do it, just come!" Cheng Yanqiu said angrily, no matter who wants to take Wu Xing away from him, it is really wishful thinking.

has been peaceful for a long time, maybe he forgot it for a while, Cheng Yanqiu was originally arrogant and angry, with no one in his eyes, and his martial arts also supported his character.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze, without preparation, even if Fu Chengshuo joined forces with Yang Qingzhu, he might not be able to leave Cheng Yanqiu, if he added Li Yanyun in his heyday, maybe it was possible, but Li Yanyun was not only absent now, but also injured, if this battle was fought, it would be really unwise.

At this time, except for Fu Chengshuo, Cheng Yanqiu, and Yang Qingzhu in the hall, there was no one else, and he did not lose too much face, Fu Chengshuo was cautious, and naturally he did not dare to fight with Cheng Yanqiu at this time, his face was gloomy for a long time, and he suddenly smiled, "Since Mr. Cheng is determined to fight against the entire martial arts, Fu is not easy to persuade him, I just hope that Mr. will go back to Dongyang, and he will have a smooth journey and everything will go well." ”

When he said the last few words, there was a feeling of gritting his teeth, yin and yang weirdness, Cheng Yanqiu knew that he still had a backhand, but he was not vain, the soldiers came to block, and the water came to cover the earth, since he was destined to be incompatible, why should he compromise!

With his ability, he doesn't believe that in this turbulent current, he can't find a way to survive to preserve the Holy Religion!

With a cold snort, Cheng Yanqiu looked at Fu Chengshuo with contempt in his eyes, "Don't send it." ”

Fu Chengshuo threw up his sleeves and left, Yang Qingzhu walked with him, the hall suddenly fell silent, Wu Xing walked out of the room, and whispered with some guilt, "Sir, why don't you just abandon me." ”

She really doesn't want to see Mr. because of her and so many people are enemies, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, although in her eyes, Mr. is the most powerful in the world, but so many people are not good for Mr., how can Mr. take care of it?

As for her, she only picked up a life because of her husband, and she stole it for two years, but she lived a very happy life in the past two years, even if she was given up today to study the floating Gu for those so-called righteous paths, she has no fear, no regrets.

After all, the Floating Gu was indeed on her.

Cheng Yanqiu frowned, "What does it have to do with you? Don't worry, the wind and rain are coming, and this disaster is not your cause." ”

As usual, he gently touched Wu Xing's head, wiped the white jade on her forehead, and ordered Song Ningye to lead everyone to get on the return boat before Li Yanyun arrived.

Sleeping on the boat is like being in a cradle, shaking and swaying, which makes people very comfortable, but Wu Xing has no intention of enjoying it, only with a heavy heart, feeling that something seems to be happening.

Cheng Yanqiu was also worried, what is Fu Chengshuo's backhand?

Just waited for the boat to go to Longquan Lake, it was calm, nothing happened, and when he entered the territory of Dongyang, Cheng Yanqiu's heart relaxed, could it be that Fu Chengshuo just let go of cruel words?

Returning to the Holy Sect, what Wu Xing had been worried about finally came, and it was not a reception banquet that greeted her, but a three-hall trial.

As early as when he came into contact with Meng Xun and Wei Yanchou, Wu Xing knew that in the Holy Sect, there was not only Mr. This courtyard, only this small piece of world, but by many people and many forces intertwined, Mr. could forgive her behavior, but what about others?

There will always be people who can't get used to her, she doesn't have any shine, but in just a few months after entering the Holy Sect, she became the only disciple of Mr., and Jiang Xiaoman, who later befriended her, was an undercover agent, because of her defenselessness, she got a lot of news from her, and the excuse was to buy her a sugar gourd.

At that time, Mr. said that she caught Jiang Xiaoman, made meritorious contributions, and did not punish her, but she herself knew that she wanted to use her husband's favor to let Jiang Xiaoman go, and she betrayed Mr. 's trust.

Now she taught Xie Chang the secret book of the library pavilion that only a few people in the sect can enter, and followed Xie Chang to Changyang to destroy the Changyang Bofu Manmen, although she didn't do it, but she also had half of the responsibility, it was she who handed Xie Chang this fishing rod, so that Xie Chang exhausted Ze, this kind of behavior is no different from apostasy, she has seen the canons of the Holy Religion, what will happen to the apostates?

If he dies, he will be crushed and ashes, and if his life is great, he will be sent to the training ground to practice with the fresh blood of the future Holy Sect.

She probably will do the same, she doesn't want her husband to save her, she doesn't deserve it, she doesn't deserve it.

She fell to her knees on the ground, her head so low that it was almost pressed against the cold marble on the ground, and this was the first time she had seen any other high-ranking Cult except for Mr.

The white-bearded bald elder has a long and pointed nose, sharp eyes, and a serious face, looking much older than Yang Qingzhu, but his waist is very straight, and he is a little short, similar to the second elder.

The baby-faced sect leader sat in the middle of the hall with a sad face, no wonder no one in the Holy Sect knew what the sect leader looked like, and there was no portrait of the sect leader, it turned out that he looked so cute, without momentum, wearing a wide sun-patterned black robe, with a very thin waist, and a ponytail dangling at the back of his head, like a little boy who stole adult clothes, if it weren't for Wu Xing knowing that Mr.'s sister was married to him, I'm afraid it would be hard to believe that such a harmless little boy was already thirty years old, and he was still the leader of the Demon Sect.

The Great Elder and Cheng Yanqiu stood beside the sect leader like two door gods, the sect leader put his hands on his cheeks and made a bitter face, I really don't know what the Great Elder asked him to do, and he doesn't like to care about these things, wouldn't it be good to let the Great Elder discuss it with the eldest brother himself? Anyway, they are all a family.

The Great Elder's gloomy voice had a gritty texture, "Although Wu Xing is your disciple, you must not show favoritism, her sins must be severely punished!"

Cheng Yanqiu didn't refute, nodded in response, "It should be like this." ”

The Great Elder raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn't know why he agreed so easily, was he ready to give up Wu Xing?

How is this possible, Wu Xing is a gift that Cheng Yanqiu is going to give to the young sect leader Peng Xueyi, the great elder doesn't believe Cheng Yanqiu, he said this, there must be something else to say later.

Cheng Yanqiu turned his head to look at Wu Xing and said solemnly, "Ah Wu, you are at fault, if I punish you, can you admit the punishment?"

Wu Xing's immature voice echoed in the empty hall, and he said firmly, "Ah Wu admits punishment." ”

Cheng Yanqiu had a pleased smile on his face, "Okay, I'll punish you to the torture hall to receive thirty lashes for yourself, do you have any objections?"

Ah Wu had no objection. ”

Cheng Yanqiu smiled and nodded, and was about to close the coffin, the Great Elder frowned, and hurriedly stopped him, and said with an unkind face, "Wu Xing is guilty of apostasy, how can he be punished with thirty lashes?"

"Oh?" Cheng Yanqiu pretended to be puzzled, "Isn't Meng Xun of that hall also responsible for apostasy, he has a high position and power, and he should have been guilty of one more degree, wasn't he also sentenced to thirty lashes by the enlightened and fair Great Elder?"

"How can this be compared!" the Great Elder was furious.

"Why not?" Cheng Yanqiu smiled.

"Alright, alright. Peng Zeyang had a headache listening to the conversation between the two, "Ah Wu is just a child, not to mention that she was also held hostage by Xie Chang, she had no choice but to do it, and her internal strength was shallow and she couldn't protect her body, these thirty lashes, I feel a little heavy, how much can I be punished?"
