Chapter 44: Punishment

The bell rang on Liuyang Mountain, which meant that the sect assembly of the Qingxu Sect was held again.

It is also interesting to say, because a spirit gathering stone vein involves an ancient Great Demon Cave Mansion, and in less than a month, the Qingxu Sect has held two sect conferences in succession.

On the top of the main hall, Zhang Qiuchi and Long Zemu were reporting the details of the battle of Jiuqu Cave Heaven to Kong Ming Zhenren and the three elders. After Zhang Qiuchi woke up, before he had time to say a few words to He Weiji, who came to visit, he was summoned to the Taiyi Hall together.

He Weiji was standing in the first row of the disciples together with the other disciples at this moment, but he kept his head down, not daring to raise his eyes to meet the master's gaze.

Through the report of the second senior brother Long Zemu, he also learned about the development of the situation after he fainted in the Jiuqu Cave. Pingshan Xiaosheng's death-defying blow did make the evil living Buddha and his party uncomfortable, but the four of them still came out. Among them, the evil living Buddha was the most seriously injured, and after leaving the Jiuqu Cave Heaven, he set up the golden lotus and fled thousands of miles away, and disappeared, most of them were looking for a secluded place to heal. Nan Mingzi and the Great Compassion Zen Master were also not lightly injured, and they each returned to the sect to cultivate, and the Shenyue Fairy was the least injured, so he found a mountain not far from the north of Woniu Mountain and healed his injuries on the spot. However, it is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Qingxu Sect, but the territory of Tiangongmen, another sect of the Ruogu League.

"Alas, I didn't expect that a Gathering Spirit Stone Vein would involve so many incidents, causing Senior Brother Xuanyi to sacrifice in vain. Xuan Jing Zhenren sighed after listening to Long Zemu's report.

Kong Ming Zhenren: "Xuanyi's junior brother died to protect the common people, heavier than Mount Tai, is my Qingxumen people's example, what is 'sacrifice in vain'? All the disciples of Qingxumen, from today onwards, fasted for 100 days, in order to lay the heroic soul of Xuanyi's junior disciple. ”

"If it weren't for the covetousness of this Gathering Spirit Stone Vein, how could Senior Brother Xuanyi die in vain?"

Hearing this, Kong Ming Zhenren asked rhetorically, "Senior Brother Kong Ji, according to your wishes, you should give up this spiritual vein now for peace?"

In order to speak, the real person of the void pole stopped doing it first: "Absolutely not! Now let go of this spiritual vein, won't Senior Brother Xuanyi really sacrifice in vain?" I am the first to object!"

Xuan Jing Zhenren also agreed: "Senior Brother Kongji, I know that you are thinking about the future situation of our Qingxu Sect, but the most important thing at the moment is the Great Demon Tide in ten years, and you must be completely prepared, this spiritual vein is indispensable." ”

Seeing that the two juniors and disciples were on the side of the leader, Kongji Zhenren knew that it was useless to say more, so he didn't say more.

Wu Unruly looked through He Weiji's eyes and saw the argument between the four real people of the Qingxu Sect on the stage, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, the small sect and the small faction are the little family, for this bit of, a few elders are arguing in front of the disciples of the whole sect, it is really a big laugh!"

"At this time, Ancestor, you should say a few words!"

The dialogue between He Weiji and Wu Unruly is in the sea of knowledge, and outsiders can't hear it.

After listening to Long Zemu's report, Kong Ming Zhenren asked Zhang Qiuchi about his experience in the Nine Qu Cave Heaven. Of course, Zhang Qiuchi did not say the specific details of the duel between Pingshan Xiaosheng and the four masters, after all, he swore in front of Pingshan Xiaosheng that day, and did not reveal half a word to the outside world. In addition, for the rest of the general situation, he reported to Kong Ming Zhenren one by one.

"How dangerous was the cave of the Great Sage of the Demon Clan before these three tribulations? Kong Ming Zhenren stroked the long beard under his chin, and said with emotion, "Fortunately, it was not discovered by the demon monk of the Evil Living Buddha, so it saved me from a vain disaster in the Qingxu Sect." ”

"Thanks to the teacher's teaching, the disciple is fortunate not to be dishonored!"

Kong Ming Zhenren nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job!" After that, he looked at the three elders beside him and proposed, "Senior Brother Xuanyi has already died, and among the many disciples, only Qiu Chi has reached the Jindan Realm, so let him take care of this errand of the Virtue Hall for the time being." ”

Kong Ming Zhenren's words, although it is called a temporary concurrent, are actually equivalent to promoting Zhang Qiuchi to the elder of the Xiude Palace. However, at the moment, the Qingxu Sect is not full of talents, and Zhang Qiuchi is the only one who can be of great use, so the other three elders, including the Kongji Zhenren, have no opinions.

"In this incident, Zhang Qiuchi, Long Zemu, Feng Tang Xu, Qu Muxi, and Ye Yushi, five disciples, who have made meritorious contributions to protecting mortals, each rewarded Ruogu with five thousand spirit deeds as a reward. Kong Ming Zhenren took it for granted that he was rewarded for meritorious deeds, but he did not mention He Weiji's name, He Weiji knew in his heart that although he also participated in the battle against the Red Evil Old Man, he disobeyed the order after that, and the consequences were serious, and he had no merit at all.

"Qiu Chi, since the affairs of the Xiude Hall have been handed over to you to take care of, after you go down, you will take the four of them to the Xiude Hall to receive the reward, don't forget your own share. ”

"The disciple obeyed. ”

After dealing with the reward, Kong Ming Zhenren set his eyes on the back of the main hall. "He Weiji!"

He Weiji said in his heart, after all, he couldn't hide from what he should have come, and after rewarding the other senior brothers and sisters, it was his turn to punish himself. He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately stepped forward and knelt down in front of the four real people: "The disciple is here!"

"Qingxu disciple He Weiji, although he had meritorious service in protecting the spiritual veins of mortals in the battle of Woniu Mountain, he then disobeyed the head and acted without authorization, almost causing a catastrophe. Senior Brother Kongji, you are an elder of the Discipline Hall, how should this behavior be dealt with with with my Clear Void Sect rules?"

Kongji Zhenren's expression was complicated, and he looked at his only disciple who was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he say lightly: "Disobedience, impulsive and reckless, when the punishment is punished, the mountain face has been thinking for ten years." ”

"Ten years, wouldn't that be all the way to the wall until the Great Demon Tide comes?" Xuan Jing Zhenren exclaimed, "Senior Brother Kongji, this punishment is a bit heavier. ”

Bao Yizhen also persuaded: "Yes, it's an extraordinary moment, why bother to go online like this?"

Kong Ming Zhenren couldn't help but ask again: "Senior brother, facing the wall for ten years?" Are you sure?"

Zhang Qiuchi hurriedly stepped forward at this time and said in a loud voice: "Master Qiqi and all the uncles, disciples and He are in the Jiuqu Cave Heaven, and they have been blessed by misfortune, and they have picked many precious medicinal materials and exotic flowers and plants, and they have not had time to report it. After speaking, he took out a few small jade boxes and presented them.

This is also the countermeasure that Zhang Qiuchi took the initiative to discuss with He Weiji before, so that He Weiji would put the different herbs collected in Xiao Qiankun and Zhang Qiuchi's together, and he would report it to the master together, which would be counted as the joint credit of the two, and it would be reasonable to offset part of the guilt.

Bao Yizhen, who was in charge of the Gathering Spirit Hall and was good at alchemy, took the jade box, opened it, and immediately his eyes straightened: "This ...... This...... Baby, it's all baby!"

Kong Ming Zhenren didn't look at what was contained in the jade box, but just asked Hug a real person: "How?"

"They are all treasures of heaven and earth, peerless treasures!" hugged a real person and couldn't hide his excitement, "With these strange grasses, plus the income from mining spiritual veins these days, next year's Nanhai Heavenly Market and my Qingxu Sect will definitely have a great harvest!"

Kong Ming Zhenren smiled and bowed: "As I said, Qiu Chi, you are another great achievement." As a teacher, I don't know what to reward you, so it's better for you to go to the Nanhai Heavenly Market next year, and you can choose the same thing you get first. ”

However, these alien herbs are not the work of the disciples alone, half of them were picked by Senior Brother He, and the disciples did not dare to occupy them. ”

Kong Ming Zhenren looked at Kong Ji again and asked, "Senior Brother Kong Ji, do you see that He Weiji has both the merit of participating in the war and the skill of collecting different herbs for the master, and the merit is worth two points, should he be punished lightly?"

Kongji Zhenren said in a deep voice: "There are merits that should be rewarded, and those who have been punished should be punished, and the merits and demerits cannot be completely offset, so change the punishment to face the wall for five years." ”

"Five years is still too long. Xuan Jing Zhenren shook his head and sighed.

At this moment, a disciple outside the door walked in and reported to Kong Ming Zhenren, and there were mortals outside the hall who asked to see him.

"My Qingxu Sect is holding a sect meeting, what is a mortal going to do at this time?Who will let him go up the mountain?" Xuan Jing Zhenren stopped him and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Kongji, don't worry, you might as well see where the mortals came from, what is the matter with coming to the Qingxu Sect?"

Kong Ming Zhenren also agreed: "Let that mortal come in." ”

After a while, a middle-aged man in a cloth shirt walked in timidly. The monks in the hall naturally formed an invisible momentum, which made him, an ordinary mortal, feel like a boulder in his heart, and he was a little out of breath.

Kong Ming Zhenren saw the discomfort of the person, his big sleeves flicked, the breeze swept through, and the man in cloth immediately felt comfortable, knowing that the white-haired old man in front of him was most likely the old fairy on Liuyang Mountain, so he knelt down on the spot and bowed three times and nine times.

"Wang Fu, the little people of Qinghe Town, meet the old fairy!"
