Section 21 Into the mountains to eliminate demons

Jiuxian Dao Chang's face was ugly, and he sat cross-legged in front of the statue of Sanqing. The face of Jiuhua Dao was like earth, and he knelt under the statue of the god guiltily. There was a row of people standing next to him, all of whom were the division commanders of the nine-character generation, of course, there was the only exception, that was the rogue boy Zhu Wuzhao.

Weitao's escape was something that no one expected. Although he committed this great mistake, it was not a heinous crime, at most it was to face the wall for three years, or to be punished with hard labor and other things, and there would never be any severe punishment, no one would have thought that he would go down the mountain without permission, which would be tantamount to betraying his teacher. Jiuhua said in a deep voice: "My disciple is not appropriate, I am willing to be punished, senior brother in charge, you don't have to be embarrassed, surrender your guilt!" Jiuxian Daoist was speechless, and the atmosphere in the hall was suffocating and dull. The other nine-character disciples standing on the side, thinking of the scene when they studied art together, their eyes showed unbearability, but Zhu Wuzhao, there was a trace of excitement in his eyes, and he wished that the senior brother in charge would punish Jiuhua severely, in his opinion, if it wasn't for Lao'er's blind protection of his shortcomings, Lu Tao would not have acted so recklessly.

Jiuxian Daoist finally sighed, stood up and turned around to worship the Taiqing statue behind him, and then announced in a majestic voice: "Nine-character disciple Meng Hua, the disciple is not appropriate, it's just that the traitor Lu Tao betrayed and went down the mountain, and now he is punished Jiuhua after thinking about the mountain for three years, are you willing?" Zhu Wuzhao only then knew that Jiuhua's name was Meng Hua. Jiuhua Taoist kowtowed: "The disciple is willing." Jiuxian Daoist punished his junior brother, couldn't bear it, and said helplessly: "Okay, let's stop this matter, let's disperse." ”

Zhu Wuzhao suddenly stood up: "Senior Brother in charge, then the disciples of Senior Brother Jiuhua, in these three years, can't see their master?" Jiuxian nodded his head: "Yes, during the period of facing the wall, you are not allowed to see anyone." Zhu Wuzhao said again: "Then if there are more than fifty disciples under his disciple, if they have any questions about cultivation in the past three years, who can they ask to solve their doubts?" Daoist Jiuxian thought about it for a while, his eyes swept over the row of junior disciples standing next to him, and finally decided: "Since this is the case, then in these three years, Senior Brother Jiuyin will be responsible for solving the doubts of Senior Brother Jiuhua." His consideration is actually very simple, because the people of Jiuhua are the least, so he transferred the people of Jiuhua to his door.

Zhu Wuzhao is like a frosted eggplant, wilting out of the Sanqing Temple, he raised this question, originally hoped that the senior brother in charge could hand over this task to himself, after all, he is also a "master" of the nine-character generation, and he is the most leisurely, although his qualifications are still shallow, but isn't there still a master, he also thought about the addiction of being a master, but he never thought about it, so he gave this task to others without hesitation.

Before Jiuhua thought about it, he came to the Hidden Sword Academy to visit Jiuyin, and when Jiuyin saw Jiuhua, his expression suddenly darkened: "Senior brother, don't worry, senior brother will take care of your disciples, and will never let them be wronged!"

The place where I thought about it was not on Yanyu Peak, but it was quite close to Zhu Wuzhao's "Don't Have a Cave Heaven", on the same peak, but in the back mountain. A bucket room, there is only a stone bed in it, and there is no quilt or anything, and a few disciples who sent Jiuhua to see such a simple environment, their noses suddenly became sore, and without saying a word, they ran out and reported a bundle of straw to the master - there are no rules for the Sword Sect, and they are not allowed to add things to the sinners who have thought about the wall, and these straws are not covered by anything, but they are more comfortable to sleep. Jiuhua was optimistic, and smiled: "What are you crying for? I meditate every day for the teacher, this bed is for sitting, not for lying down, what does it matter if it is hard?"

After sending away those disciples, he settled down here, with a scoop of water and half a dry cake every day, and lived like this for three years.

As soon as the Jiuhua Daoist left, all the disciples under his door were under the management of the Jiuyin Daoist. Jiuyin felt that he had to do something thoughtful after agreeing to Jiuhua, so on the second day after Jiuhua faced the wall, he came to Jiuhua's Huashi Academy to meet all the disciples. The disciples of Huashi Academy had already been informed in advance, but when Jiuyin came to Huashi Academy with Wei Fang, there were few people waiting for them.

Looking at the seven or eight people standing in the courtyard below, he asked strangely, "What about the others?" Jiuhua's eldest apprentice Weiyang stood up and saluted his uncle: "Uncle, they all have something to ......do" Jiu Yin felt that things were not so simple, so many disciples of Jiuhua had something to do today? Besides, what could a cultivator do? He took Wei Fang back to the Hidden Sword Courtyard sullenly, not knowing what was going on.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he ran into Gu Sheng, and seeing that the color on Shizun's face was not good-looking, he grabbed the senior brother behind him and asked, "What's wrong?" Wei Fang whispered the matter, after Gu Sheng listened, he frowned, he has been in the Demon Dao for many years, and naturally has a deep understanding of human nature, not as old-fashioned as Jiu Yin and Wei Fang. Seeing the master enter his room sullenly, Gu Sheng followed: "Master." "Well, please?"

Gu Sheng asked: "Is the master worried because of the disciples of Huashi Academy?" Jiu Yin was very puzzled in his heart, he was obviously sincere and kind to the first disciple of Hua Shi Academy, why did they not even see their own faces, and deliberately avoided themselves? Jiu Yin nodded a little heavily, Gu Sheng observed his words: "Master, the disciple doesn't know whether to say it or not. "If there is anything to say, there is something to hide between us. Gu Sheng nodded: "Master, in fact, you are fundamentally wrong in this matter. Jiuyin was stunned for a moment, and looked up suddenly: "Oh, I was wrong?" "Shizun shouldn't have taken this errand in the first place. "Why?" Jiuyin's education since he was a child is to help when he is in trouble, to help the needy, not to mention his own junior brother, to help even more.

Gu Sheng felt that it was a little difficult to explain this truth to such an upright person: "Do you think, why was Senior Uncle Jiuhua punished this time?" "Because Lu Tao escaped." "Then who found out that Lu Tao stole the things in the Sanqing Temple?" "It's you." "By the way, it was the disciple who discovered Lu Tao's bad deeds, to be precise, it was the Jiuyin Sect who discovered the crimes of the Jiuhua Sect, which eventually led to the punishment of Uncle Jiuhua - we, that is, you and I, are the indirect causes of this matter. But now, you are going to teach the disciples of Huashi Academy, do you think they will accept you?" Jiu Yin felt that Gu Sheng's words seemed to have some truth, but he didn't understand it a little, he thought about it, and he had no idea in his heart for a while: "Then you say, what should I do now?"

"This is easy to do, you can go and quit this errand with the master now. Jiu Yin was embarrassed: "But I'm already next, how can I resign?" Gu Sheng really has no choice but to take this dull guy, he just finds an excuse, can't he just get it?" "You can say that there are a lot of things for the disciples to come in, and you can't be busy." Jiuyin shook his head and felt inappropriate: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate." Isn't this a lie, how can I deceive the senior brother in charge?" Gu Sheng was about to be angry with this old guy, and at this moment, a cloud of yellow light suddenly appeared on Jiuyin's body, and the yellow light floated out of his clothes, floating in front of him like a firefly. Jiu Yin frowned: "Transmission Jade Fu." He stretched out his finger, and with a ping-pong bang, the light exploded, and a cloud of information poured into his mind along his fingers.

"Pack up your things and follow me down the mountain at once. Jiu Yin immediately said to Gu Sheng after reading the information in the transmission jade talisman. Gu Sheng asked, "What's the matter, master?" "My friend Yin Sanhuan told me that recently, another 10,000-year-old python has appeared in the area of Wu Python Mountain, and the inner dan has been formed, and it has been hurting travelers one after another in recent days, and he asked me to go and eliminate demons together. It just so happens that the teacher owes you a flying sword, and this time he killed the giant python, and he used its inner dan to connect a flying sword for you. "Now it's okay, the reason is here, there is no need to make it up, and there is no need to lie to the Nine Present Dao Chief.

pushed away the matter of Huashi Academy, Jiuyin did not go back to the Hidden Sword Courtyard directly, but turned his direction and went straight to the other cave where there was no virtue and Taoism.

The Wude Daoist was gnawing on a rabbit leg, and Zhu Wuzhao was working the side, roasting the hare. He now suspected that the reason why the people of Wude took him as an apprentice was because of his skill in roasting hares, and now he was about to become his man, hunting and barbecuing for him every day, and going down the mountain to buy wine from time to time.

"Master, how does it taste?" Zhu Wuzhao asked with a salivating face, and the Wude Daoist gnawed on the rabbit leg with satisfaction and nodded: "Well, it's not bad—but you can't be complacent!" Zhu Wuzhao replied obediently: "Yes, master!" and then asked seemingly casually: "Master, what is the way to crack the ban on the big bead on the top of the cave......?" But I'm not going to tell you for the time being, haha......" Zhu Wuzhao was furious, stood up abruptly and threw the rabbit in his hand into the fire: "Let you eat, I'll let you eat!" A burst of smoke rose from the fire, and Zhu Wuzhao stomped a few feet in the fire.

The Wude Daoist didn't feel distressed: "Hehe, you step on it, anyway, the grandfather of this Dao is eating and playing, what you have in your hand, but your rations!" After that, the Wude Daoist walked away with the wine gourd behind his back, leaving Zhu Wuzhao to kneel on the ground and scream miserably, regretting it!

The people of Wude Dao were full of food and drink, and they burped and returned to Beyoudongtian.
