Chapter 214: Past Events 2
Although I had known these nonsense before, when I heard it again, I was still shocked and more eager to know what happened three years ago.
Seeing Wuqiu, everyone held their breath, looked at themselves with curiosity, and sighed: "As the so-called snake can't do without a head, a bird can't fly without wings." Three years ago, the head of Qingyuan Palace, which had been idle for decades, suddenly announced a general election. A few families are happy and a few are sad, the master has always coveted the position of the head, and he is also the most qualified candidate for the position of head, after all, he is the son-in-law of the previous generation of heads. However, the master connived at his disciples' misdeeds, so the reputation of the Law Enforcement Hall in the Qingyuan Palace was not good. The elders and disciples of the other halls naturally had a lot of complaints about the inheritance of the head of the sect by the master uncle. Therefore, the master was elected to compete with the master. ”
Wuqiu took a deep breath and said: "You also know that the master is not a person who strives for fame and fortune, and he refused several times, but he couldn't resist the forcible recommendation of everyone, so he had to drive the duck to the shelf and put it on the shelf." It's just that I didn't expect to go, although I won the position of head, but pushed the deacon hall into a fire pit. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Qiu stopped abruptly, his expression was a little gloomy, and his voice became a little deep, obviously what happened after that had brought some irreparable wounds to his young mind.
Seeing that Wu Qiu looked like this, they didn't urge, quietly waiting for him to calm down.
After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The position of the head of the family needs to pass three levels, and finally the winner will be assessed by the master and uncle, and the winner will be respected. The first two levels are examined in the exercises and Taoism, and the master and the master are equally divided, and the last level is the character and the Taoist heart. If the first two levels are difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, this last level is naturally the master is better, which is also obvious to all, although the master uncle usually lives in a simple way, and he also understands the character of the master and the uncle. After some eloquence, the master naturally stood out, won the recognition of the master and the ancestor, and won the respect of the head of the family. This should have been a great thing for the Deacon Hall and even the entire Qingyuan Palace. However, the master had a foresight and wanted to turn off the honor of the head of Qingyuan Palace, but under the persuasion of the deacons and elders of each hall, as well as the orders of the master and uncle, the master finally accepted the position of the head of the house. ”
As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes are impermanent, and blessings and misfortunes depend on them! This great good thing has instead become the fuse that triggers a disaster. After losing the battle for the position of the head of the house, the character of the master became more and more perverse, relying on his own interests in charge of the law enforcement hall, often making trouble for nothing, bullying the other three halls, and the deacon hall was even more suppressed, the master has the respect of the head, but has no real power, and because of the identity of the master, it is difficult to make brotherly decisions. I wanted to seek the help of my uncle, but my uncle and ancestor closed the door and let the master solve it by himself. In desperation, the master had to persuade the master with good words. You also know the temperament of the master, who has always been above the top and thinks very highly of himself, and he does not take the master's words into account at all. After a few times, he felt that the master was acting against him after taking charge of Qingyuan Palace. So he intensified the suppression of the deacon hall and several other churches. ”
"The master originally wanted to turn big things into small things, swallow his anger, and calm things down. But the senior brother, the second senior brother, and the third senior brother couldn't bear to be so bullied by the Law Enforcement Hall, so they came to the door to find the master and uncle's theory. As a result, without exception, they were detained by the law enforcement hall for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and they were released after several tortures. No matter how good his temperament was, the master couldn't help it, so he led the disciples of the deacon hall to the door to question. The two disciples disagreed, so they fought. There are many disciples in the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Deacon Hall is naturally not an opponent, and it will soon fall behind. Fortunately, at this time, Shi Shuzu came out to dissuade him, and the rebellion in the inner gate finally calmed down. Under the persuasion of Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi can be regarded as a lot more restrained. But the good times didn't last long, when the senior uncle and ancestor were in retreat, the Law Enforcement Hall once again provoked trouble, and dozens of Law Enforcement Hall disciples led by Senior Brother Wenjun took advantage of the opportunity of my Deacon Hall to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and besieged them all on the cliff. ”
Speaking of this, Wuqiu's breathing suddenly became rapid, and the whole person seemed a little hysterical.
"They have humiliated the senior brothers several times, but the senior brothers have adhered to the teachings of the master, and no matter how humiliated they are, they swallowed their anger and did not have the same knowledge as them. Seeing that the senior brothers were like this, the people in the Law Enforcement Hall became more and more unscrupulous, first there was a quarrel, then pushing, and finally the senior brothers couldn't bear it anymore, and the two sides finally fought. That's it, in the middle of the fight, the eleventh senior brother accidentally fell off the cliff, and after several rescues, he was weak and died of his injuries. ”
Hearing this, a look of indignation appeared on everyone's faces.
"It's so deceitful!" Hu Yan slapped the table heavily, his face gloomy, his silver teeth locked, and his fists clenched. He knew that the Law Enforcement Hall was rampant and domineering, but he didn't expect it to be so out of line. I couldn't help but feel more and more disgusted for the Law Enforcement Hall and Senior Brother Wenjun in my heart.
"And after that?" asked Jin Ning'er with a frown.
Wuqiu's whole person suddenly looked a little depressed, and said in a gloomy voice: "After the master learned about this, he led all the disciples to ask the teacher for guilt, although the master was short-sighted, but he also knew that this matter was too much, and in order to calm the matter, the disciples who made trouble were also punished, but they were all innocuous punishments. Even Senior Brother Wen Jun, the initiator, was only punished for a year. ”
"What, if you kill someone, you've only been punished for a year, it's too much of a bully!" Jin Ning'er stood up abruptly and said angrily.
Wu Qiu smiled bitterly and said: "What is the way to do this, Uncle Shi is in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, and is in charge of all the rewards and punishments in the inner gate." He can do whatever he wants, and whoever can go against him. What's more, this time he also did enough superficial work, and his uncle and ancestor came forward to mediate. In the end, the matter was over. ”
"That's it, it's too cheap for the gang in the Law Enforcement Hall!" Jin Ning'er said indignantly.
"Of course, you can't just leave it at that. Wuqiu stood up suddenly, his face showed a sickly flush, and he said excitedly: "The third senior brother is really angry, so he took advantage of the time when the master and the master entered the customs to practice, broke into the law enforcement hall at night, and broke the legs of several people who had caused trouble before with the strength of one person. It even abolished the exercises of the second senior brother of the Law Enforcement Hall, so that he could no longer practice. At that time, it was the second senior brother of the Law Enforcement Hall who forced the eleventh senior brother to fall off the cliff, but he abolished his exercises, which really cheapened him. ”
"Well done! Your third senior brother is really a hero!" Jin Ning'er immediately applauded when she heard this.
Hu Yan frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Although the third senior brother avenged the eleventh senior brother with his blood, the consequences must be very serious. ”
The nonsense words made a trace of sadness appear on Wuqiu's face, and he nodded slightly: "You are right. The third senior brother was seriously injured by the same door, and even abolished the exercises of the same door privately, which can be regarded as a violation of the taboo of the inner door of the Qingyuan Palace, and it is also a capital crime according to the palace rules. The Law Enforcement Hall grabbed the handle and wanted to severely punish the third senior brother. The master tried to protect it, and there was an uncle and ancestor as a guarantee, so the master had no choice but to give up. However, capital sins can be avoided, and living sins cannot be escaped. The third senior brother was eventually abolished and expelled from the division. ”
"How could this be, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall injured their fellow disciples, and forced the eleventh senior brother to fall off the cliff, but they were only sentenced to a wall, but the third senior brother was to be punished so severely, is there any royal law?" Jin Ning'er rebuked indignantly.
Wu Qiu smiled bitterly and said: "People are powerful and powerful, and they are naturally hard to speak. What can you do with him?"
Hu Yan sighed and asked instead, "Then what happened after this incident?"
Wuqiu pondered for a moment and said: "As for the third senior brother being expelled from the division, the master did not think about losing his soul for tea and dinner all day long, and the senior brother was depressed and couldn't stand it and went out to travel. The second senior brother was also hit by this incident and decided to enter the secret realm to practice and not ask about the world. It's been three years now. ”
Hu Yan nodded slightly and said, "Whoever is treated so unfairly will also feel unjust." They may also choose to do so because they really can't stand the lawless and domineering style of the Law Enforcement Hall. But what I can't figure out is why you mention Senior Brother Eleventh and complain about other senior brothers?"
Wu Qiu heard this, was slightly stunned, and said: "Actually, I can't say anything about this matter, maybe I subconsciously think that the third senior brother and the eleventh senior brother will suffer this catastrophe, all because the senior brothers and uncles forced the master to compete for the position of the head of the house." Maybe it's because I blame them for not protecting Senior Brother Eleven!"
Hu Yanwan smiled and said, "Is this the reason why you like to trick them?"
Wuqiu shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Now that you know the situation in Qingyuan Palace, does it feel much more complicated than the current Qingyuan Palace?"
Hu Yan could see how much helplessness was contained in Wuqiu's words, and he also understood that the situation in Qingyuan Palace was far more complicated than he knew, and he finally understood why he was so relieved when he mentioned to his master that he wanted to go out to practice, and it seemed that he wanted to leave the place where dragons and snakes were mixed. Maybe in the master's heart, he is also more willing to travel outside and stay away from that place of right and wrong, but as the head of the family, there are too many helplessness and involuntary things. It is impossible to lose a sect as big as Qingyuan Palace.
Hu Yan thought for a while and said, "Wuqiu, when the matter here is resolved, let's go back to Qingyuan Palace." ”
Without asking for a reason, he nodded and said, "I also have this intention, and it has been some time since I came out, so let's go back and see the old man and the other senior brothers." It's strange to think of them. ”
Ziling also smiled and said, "Yes, I kind of want to eat the noodles cooked by the sixth senior brother." ”
Hu Yan poked Ziling's forehead lightly, and scolded with a smile: "You girl, how did you become a gluttonous cat, you think about eating it all day." ”
Ziling stuck out her tongue and laughed: "What's the matter, that's what people say!"
Ziling's cute appearance suddenly diluted the dullness in Hu Yan's heart, and he stood up and said, "Okay, when this matter is resolved, we will go back to Qingyuan Palace." ”
