Chapter 35: Red Tape

Shouchang saw the three of them, and hurriedly stood up, with fish meat in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Senior Brother Xuanyin, Senior Brother Xuantong, Senior Brother Xuanyi, hello." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" pointed to the dwarf in the middle and introduced to Lu Xiaoyuan: "Little junior brother, this is Senior Brother Xuanyin, the eldest disciple of Uncle Zihua. He also introduced one left and one right: "This is Senior Brother Xuantong, this is Senior Brother Xuanyi, both are disciples of Master Zihua, and the punishment of the Shenglang faction is also presided over by these two." ”

Xuanyin and the three of them greeted Lu Xiaoyuan, and Lu Xiaoyuan also returned the salute to the three of them, introduced himself, and said in his heart: "Why is the eldest disciple of Uncle Zihua so short, wouldn't he suffer a lot if he fights?" But the other two senior brothers can be curryed favor with, and I will break the door rules in the future, so I can let them be accommodating." ”

Xuan Yin didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "The disciple that Uncle Qinghua just accepted is you, you are really handsome and extraordinary, young and talented." He said to Shouchang again: "What a big fragrance, I and my two junior brothers went down the mountain to have something, and when we passed by here, we were attracted by this fragrance." ”

Shou Chang divided the grilled fish in his hand to the three of them, and said, "This is the fish grilled by the little junior brother, please try it, the three senior brothers." The three of them were not polite, they sat on the ground at the moment, ate the grilled fish, and praised Lu Xiaoyuan's grilled fish skills while eating.

The five of them sat on the ground eating and chatting, although Xuan Yin was the eldest disciple of Zihua, he was not arrogant, he was kind and witty, and he was very talkative, and soon Lu Xiaoyuan became acquainted with the three of them.

While they were chatting happily, suddenly someone in the distance shouted, "You people, why are you gathered here?" Lu Xiaoyuan saw that the yellow robes of these three people were different from the disciples of the Five Immortals and the Five Immortals, his face was pale, and he didn't know him, so he quietly asked Shou Chang: "Senior brother, who are they?"

Shou Chang muttered, "It's these nasty ghosts again", and explained to Lu Xiaoyuan in a low voice: "They are the disciples of Guanyangzi Shi Bozu." "In addition to the five immortals of Xuanmen, the Shenglang faction also has four elders, Guanyangzi, Changshengzi, Changchunzi, and Jingyangzi, who are the uncles and uncles of the five immortals of Xuanmen. These four people and their disciples live together in the Great Dao Pavilion in the north of Shenglang Mountain, living in a simple place, and rarely participate in major affairs between sects, so Lu Xiaoyuan does not know each other.

The first of the three realms is the Dao Cheng, and he is the great disciple of Guanyangzi. In the bloody battle between the Five Sects and the Bloodthirsty Sect, many disciples of the Shenglang Sect were killed, and only a few returned alive, so Dao Cheng was promoted from the original eight disciples to the first disciple. He is Zihua's junior brother, and he is Xuanyin's uncle in terms of seniority, and Xuanyin stepped forward to salute.

Dao Cheng is in his thirties, but he is old-fashioned when he speaks, and he said proudly: "Xuanyin, it has nothing to do with you, you step aside." Xuan Tong and Xuan Ye saw that Dao Cheng was so rude, and they were angry in their hearts, but they knew that Cheng was so arrogant, but they couldn't help it.

Daocheng's eyes swept back and forth on Lu Xiaoyuan and Shouchang a few times, then looked at the fish bones and fire on the ground, and shouted: "You are so bold!

Xuan Yin said: "Uncle Shi is angry. This Senior Brother Lu is a newly accepted disciple of Senior Uncle Qinghua, and he doesn't know the rules, so it's no wonder that he is. It is also wrong for us to participate in this matter. I also hope that Uncle Shi will raise his noble hand. ”

Dao Cheng still refuses to forgive: "The five major rules and fourteen small rules of the Shenglang Sect, what does the ninth small rule say? No killing for no reason, isn't it!?"

"This...."Xuan Yin was speechless. The Shenglang faction does have this rule, which was established by the founding patriarch of the Shenglang faction, but later the style of the Shenglang faction gradually relaxed, and the disciples need nutrition to practice martial arts, and the meals are full of meat and vegetables. After all, he was moved out by Daocheng today, and Xuan Yin was aggrieved.

Dao Cheng sneered: "Today's matter has nothing to do with the three of you, I want to tell the head of the house and punish them for their crimes, Xuanyin, don't interfere." "Guanyangzi and the other four elders have made a big mistake because Qinghua made a big mistake in the past, which has affected the Shenglang faction, which has greatly damaged the strength of the Shenglang faction, and has always made it difficult for Qinghua and his subordinates. It's just that the relationship between Zihua Zhenren, the head of the Shenglang Sect, and Qinghua Zhenren of Tianzhu Peak is extraordinary, Zihua is very strict with his disciples, but he is quite lenient with Qinghua and his subordinates. As long as Shouxiong and the others do not do evil things that hurt nature and reason, and make some small mistakes of young people's blood and impulsiveness, they will always be punished symbolically.

Guanyangzi and the other four elders were unimpressed with Zihua's approach, and their resentment towards the Tianzhu Peak branch was even deeper. This time, Dao Cheng grabbed Lu Xiaoyuan and Shouchang's handle, and naturally refused to let it go easily. Lu Xiaoyuan saw that the three of them were entangled, and said disdainfully: "What's the big deal, just go." Shou Chang also said angrily: "It's just a few fish, and it's not a felony." ”

Dao Cheng sneered: "Then please!" Lu Xiaoyuan and Shou Chang walked in front, and Dao Cheng and the three followed behind to prevent the two of them from escaping. Xuan Yin saw that the situation had come to this point, and he couldn't leave, so he followed behind Daocheng with Xuan Tong and Xuan Yi. The eight of them walked together to the Taihe Temple.

Walking halfway, he heard Daocheng sneering behind his back: "Senior Brother Qinghua accepts disciples indiscriminately, and his disciples are full of useless people. Look at this new harvest, it kills as soon as it starts, it's really a god-killing star. Another Taoist smiled and said, "Not only that, he just entered the palace and rushed back to the monarch's pavilion, and the lustful nature of the prodigal son of the monk is undoubtedly revealed." ”

Dao Cheng smiled: "That's right, the master and apprentice have the same temper and like the same tune." ”

The two spoke loudly, apparently deliberately provocative. Lu Xiaoyuan and Shouchang couldn't bear it, turned around and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Why are we talking nonsense? Senior Brother Qinghua didn't have the vision to accept this group of waste apprentices. One is really angry, the other is cowardly as a mouse, and there is a lot of nonsense, only that brute bull barely has some ability. There was a sneer on the corner of Daocheng's mouth.

Shou Chang knew who he was referring to, and he was so angry that he threw his fist at Daocheng. He is good at defensive martial arts, and attacking so rashly has no effect. Seeing him do it, Dao Cheng dodged it and said, "You want to do it?"

The other two Taoists deliberately saw that Qinghua's subordinates were ugly, and coaxed: "Whoever doesn't dare to do it is a bad seed." ”

Shouchang shouted: "Who is afraid of you!" Lu Xiaoyuan had just entered for three days, so naturally he couldn't compete with them, so Shouchang stood in front of Lu Xiaoyuan, ready to go. The two were about to fight, when a strong sword qi roared by, like a lightning strike, cutting a crack on the ground between the two, and Shou Chang and Dao Cheng were forced by the wave of sword qi and almost suffocated.

Turning his head to look, he saw Xuan Yin's face was pale, holding a long sword, the sword body was inlaid with seven shining gems, called "Seven Star Sword", and said coldly: "How can the disciples of Shenglang kill each other, whoever dares to do it again will pass my level first." "Although he was short and majestic, he stood on the ground, but his momentum overshadowed everyone in the field.

However, the first step of a martial artist's cultivation is to run the true qi in the body, gathering the qi in the fists, palms, legs and feet, and the second is to condense the qi in the blade, and using the blade to send out a long-range attack with qi strength is a further realm. Xuanyin's martial art is called Taixuan swordsmanship, which is profound and mysterious, and is one of the three top martial arts of the Shenglang faction. It is necessary to cultivate this martial art at least to reach the immortal level, and to be able to resist qi and break the body, before it can be taught. Xuan Yin has not been cultivating for a long time, after all, this is a top-level martial art, and once it is used, its power can still suppress ordinary disciples.

Dao Cheng saw that his sword qi was fierce and invincible, and he was angry and jealous, but he didn't dare to do it again, so he sneered at the moment and said, "Then give Xuanyin's nephew a face." Let's go!"

Everyone entered the Taihe Palace, and saw that in addition to Zihua, there were two old men with white eyebrows in the hall, sitting at the bottom of Zihua, and the three of them were discussing things. Dao Cheng was overjoyed when he saw the two veterans. These two old Taoists are their uncles, Changchunzi and Changshengzi. The friendship between the four elders is very good, and having an uncle here is really a strong help. Now the matter is told as it is.

Zihua's eyebrows furrowed slightly, quite embarrassed. This matter is not big, it is not small, when I told Lu Xiaoyuan about the rules of the Shenglang Sect a few days ago, I only talked about the five rules, because the fourteen rules are all cumbersome etiquette, so I didn't tell him, not to mention that grilling a few fish is not a big deal, it is really not enough to punish. However, Daocheng moved out of the door rules, and the door rules stipulate that those who injure the living without reason should be punished with a cane forty.

Seeing Zihua's indecision, Chang Zizi said coldly: "What else is there to say about violating the door rules? ”

If the people of the Shenglang sect did something to bully the common people and collude with evil spirits, of course Zihua dealt with it decisively and without favoritism, but when he encountered such a trivial matter, he hesitated a little and said: "Senior uncle, what Senior Nephew Lu did in this matter is a little improper, well....."

"What is wrong? It is clearly a mistake, and killing for no reason should be judged according to the rules of the door. Seeing that Zihua was still hesitating, he said: "If he violates the door rules this time, the head of the door will not be punished, and next time someone violates the door rules? If he is not punished, won't it be equivalent to abolishing the door rules? If he is punished, how will everyone be convinced?"

In the middle of the stalemate, Qinghua's voice came from outside the hall: "I can't help but eat meat and vegetables now, what if I kill a few fish and roast them?"

Seeing Qinghua being so rude, Changchunzi was even more annoyed, and said angrily: "Although we eat meat, we don't kill, how can we be compared?"

Qinghua said: "We eat meat, and someone kills it for us, so what's the difference between us and killing ourselves? If we eat vegetarian, will those livestock die?"

"If the rules are like this, what's the benefit of you arguing with words?"

Qinghua said lightly: "There are many unreasonable things about this door rule, and it should have been abolished a long time ago." He said this with a look of composure as if it were a very simple thing.

"Nonsense!" Changshengzi and Changchunzi were furious when they heard Qinghua's words. "The door rules were set by the ancestors, you dare to abolish the door rules, aren't you trying to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors?"
