The oil lamp on the wall of the dungeon burned quietly, the flames burned the wick of the candle, making a crackling sound, Li Zifeng sighed, got up and put aside the food on the wooden table, picked up the pen and paper sent by Shi Rui, and wanted to write a few words leisurely, but the first sentence he didn't expect to write was 'The sea of bitterness is boundless, and the shore is back'.

"The sea of bitterness is boundless, and the back is the shore. Li Zifeng read in a low voice, thinking of the crazy woman in Hongyuan Villa again, the person who once gave great care to him when he was most lonely and helpless.

Although she is crazy, her mind sometimes seems to be sober, maybe her life experience has already been seen through by her, and she also understands the purpose of the trip to Hongyuan Villa, so she will say the eight words containing various hints.

"Elder of the Law Ring?"

Shi Rui rubbed his sleepy eyes, caught off guard in the face of the sudden strictness.

Li Zifeng looked up and just saw Elder Yan Cheng standing outside the prison door, his expression calm. Ignoring his face, he got up and knelt down, Yan Cheng squinted at him for a while, then looked at the eight words he wrote, and sighed, "In the past few days in prison, you have learned a lot." ”

Li Zifeng opened his chapped mouth, "The dungeon was so quiet that people panicked, so they begged someone to send a pen and paper to write." ”

"You can't be idle. Yan Cheng's tone was rarely as cold as usual, and then he looked at Shi Rui, "Open the prison door." ”

"Yes..."Shi Rui stepped forward to unlock the door, and when the Elder of the Dharma Ring entered the cell, he closed the prison door, but it was not locked, but two more strong disciples were sent to guard the prison door.

"Get up and sit down!" Yan Cheng pulled over the wooden stool and sat down, and Li Zifeng sat opposite. The dim candle flame shook people's eyes sorely, Yan Cheng looked at the food that was put aside and did not move at all, and frowned, "I don't eat any food, what are you doing against the master?"

Li Zifeng sighed tiredly, "The disciple has been thinking about the cause and process of the whole thing for the past two days, and when he thought about it, he missed the time to eat. ”

Yan Cheng stared at Li Zifeng for a while, "You still insist that you are innocent?"

Li Zifeng smiled bitterly, his eyes showed a hint of helplessness, "Innocent? Deceiving the head of the family and causing a big disaster for his own selfishness is already inevitable, and if he is innocent, it is not so important." ”

Yan Cheng sighed, "I'm not here to ask you anything. ”

"Is it just for the sake of chatting with the disciples?" Elder Fajie, this is not like your character," Li Zifeng said with a smile, "You might as well say it if you have something to say." ”

"The head said that reading on the love between master and apprentice can give you a chance to prove your innocence. ”

Li Zifeng smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of slightly cold tea, and the bitterness of the cold went straight to his heart and lungs, "What about the conditions?"

"Immediately take someone to exterminate Hongyuan Villa, as long as you agree, you and the head of the sect can be the same as always, and you are still the senior brother, the chief disciple of the sect. ”

The hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cold smile, "Elder Fajie, with all due respect, disciple bluntly, if it were you, would you agree?"

"Everything Hongyuan Villa has done has proven that there is collusion with the Lingye Palace, and it is only a matter of time before it is exterminated. Why don't you push the boat down the river?" Yan Cheng continued to persuade, "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, your most important task now is to live, your life is gone, but there is nothing!"

Li Zifeng stared at Yan Cheng for a long time, and said with a smile, "Elder, is this how you admonish your junior brothers and sisters on weekdays? ”

The Fajie Elder was angry, "I don't know what to do!"

Li Zifeng was silent for a long time, then got up and knelt on the ground, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder." No matter how much the disciples hate Hongyuan Villa, it is only to the point where they do not get along. If they really do something that hurts nature and reason, they should also pay the price they deserve, and the disciples have no objection. But the disciple is not a saint, and he can't do righteous annihilation. ”

Yan Cheng sighed heavily, and smiled helplessly, "What a temper." ”

After that, he got up and left, walked to the door of the cell, and looked back at Li Zifeng, who was still kneeling, "Listen to my advice, don't think about anything, eat well, and nourish your spirits, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't survive the tripartite trial in three days." ”

Shang Qingyuan was brightly lit, Ouyang Ze threw the written pieces of paper into the brazier and burned them, and asked Yan Cheng, who had been standing beside him for a long time, unusually calmly, "He refused?"

Yan Cheng frowned, "Yes." The attitude is very resolute. ”

Ouyang Ze smiled self-deprecatingly, "In the end, it is the apprentice I taught, I really don't know whether to be happy or ......worried" Or perhaps, after so many years of master-apprentice relationship, after all, I can't resist the humble blood and family affection, and all these years of hard work are in vain.

Yan Cheng let out a long sigh, "The tripartite triage in three days?"

"It's business as usual. Ouyang Ze blurted out, "All the elders have made arrangements. ”

"Yes, they have come one after another, and Elder Zongyuan is making arrangements. Just ......"

Ouyang Ze raised his eyebrows slightly, "Just what?"

"Elder Yitong didn't rest when he came, and went directly in the direction of the dungeon. ”

Ouyang Ze was slightly stunned......

In the dungeon, Li Zifeng was wrapped in a quilt and leaned against the corner of the wall to rest, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't seem to be sleeping very well.

Thinking about it, he opened his eyes, and the next moment, he was awake in an instant, and the person who came was the head of the elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall, Elder Yitong was still Huaifeng, and Shi Rui was standing respectfully aside.

Li Zifeng turned over and got out of bed, knelt down in front of Shang Huaifeng, "Disciple, meet Elder Yitong." ”

Yitong Elder Shang Huaifeng is the second disciple of the Hengshan faction, who studied under Ouyang Tian's senior brother without a trace, and is resolute, fair and strict, without favoritism, and the Hengshan faction is all praised, and is known as the 'Hengshan faction Bao Gong'. After Ouyang Ze succeeded as the head, he transferred him to the most complicated situation in the Foreign Affairs Hall and served as the head of the elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

Shang Huaifeng is a stern person, his mouth is like a knife, and sometimes a word and a look can force people to have nowhere to hide, so a rare three-way trial is indispensable for him.

Shang Huaifeng motioned for Shi Rui to open the cell door, then slowly walked in and sat down at the table, staring at Li Zifeng expressionlessly for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "But what do you have to say?"

"The disciple is not filial, and he bothers the elders to run all the way ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of Shang Huaifeng knocking on the table, Shang Huaifeng's expression was cold, "I have heard a little about you, and I also understand your principles of dealing with the world, but I am not the head of the family, let alone the other elders, and rhetoric has no effect on me!"

Li Zifeng's expression was awe-inspiring, Elder Yitong's knife mouth was really not false, compared to Shen Tianxiong, it was even better, looking at Shang Huaifeng's compelling gaze, he put away all kinds of distracting thoughts, and replied truthfully, "The disciple's original name is Li Shiying, the second son of Hongyuan Villa, because he was stubborn eleven years ago, he eavesdropped on the conversation between the owner of the village and the guests, and then he was chased, fell off the cliff, and was later arrested... The master rescued him, and then the disciple continued to talk about it?"

"It's really not necessary, from your apprenticeship to taking over as the chief disciple, and then to your own leadership, I remember every growth you have in mind, since I don't need you to say it again, then you can tell me, this time the children of the family were attacked, the seventeenth rudder of the Lingye Palace learned the news in advance and fled, and the extermination team was wiped out, what happened?"

"Because of the disciple's selfishness and violation of the door rules, he met with Li Shijie, the young owner of Hongyuan Villa, in private. But everything is too coincidental, and this is probably also a trap of Lingye Palace. ”

In other words, this disaster has nothing to do with you or Li Shijie. ”

Li Zifeng looked at Shang Shang's blazing eyes, and then lowered his head slightly, "I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." ”

Shang Huaifeng squinted his eyes slightly, "You are calm." Am I supposed to say that you are not surprised?"

Li Zifeng raised his head tentatively, looked at Shang Huaifeng's plausible expression, and frowned slightly, "You don't seem to believe it." ”

Shang Huaifeng said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, I don't care what others say, I only believe in the facts." As he spoke, he stood up, "That's it for today! Raise your spirits and prepare well for the tripartite trial in three days." ”

After saying that, he left without looking back, the cell door was locked again, Li Zifeng also stood up and sat on the bed, the tripartite triage, and the tripartite triage, Li Zifeng sighed heavily, he didn't expect that the next tripartite triage would make him unforgettable.
