Xie Gongbao opened Zou Qi's hand, looked around at everyone, and said:

"Five years ago, my clan was wiped out, and the younger generation crossed the demon mountain and happened to come to the White Camel Villa, when I was exhausted and hungry, and it was the white girl who took me in. At that time, I was still very busy, and my mouth was not strict, so Ma Baolong learned my identity, and he coaxed the white girl to take me on the road, trying to ask me about the colorful spirit egg. ——On the day of the road, the white girl also fell for Ma Baolong, and deceived the owner of Bai Zhuang under the pretext of going out to play with Brother Zou, and took me to quietly follow Ma Baolong all the way north. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, made up a compilation in his mind, and continued:

"That's when I met Brother Zou that day, Miss Bai asked Brother Zou to go back first, Brother Zou said, 'Go out and go back together, so as to live up to the teacher's expectations and live up to the trust of the owner of the White Village', he followed Ma Zhulong all the way to the North Underworld Realm. - I remember the night I camped in Jieshan, when I heard Ma Baolong's intentions, I knew that I was fooled, so I quietly ran into Jieshan, but I still let Ma Baolong catch up, it was Brother Zou who sacrificed his life to save me and entangled Ma Baolong's gang, so I was able to escape. - For the next five years, Brother Zou looked for me everywhere, and he thought that I had been imprisoned in the Wild Breeze Tablet Forest, so he sneaked in again and again, was repeatedly injured, and finally captured. - As for the matter of Brother Zou and Miss Bai, as far as the younger generation knows, it is because Brother Zou was injured and his life was in danger, and it was Miss Bai who took care of him carefully, and the two fell in love for a long time, so they made this mistake. ”

These words are half-true and half-false, and they are extremely smooth and gracious.

When everyone here heard the truth, they all nodded their heads and were very satisfied.

Qiu Daoren asked Zou Qi: "You said it yourself, what he said is the truth?"

Zou Qi is extremely virtuous and never lies: "What Brother Gongbao said is a little untrue. ”

Xie Gongbao let out a sigh of relief in his heart, and argued stubbornly: "You are bent on death, of course you say that I am not true." ”

Everyone present was confused, and they couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while. At this time, the empty phase chuckled, stood up and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the ants are still stealing, why don't Zou Xian's nephews spare their lives to ?—— Qiu's master, not long ago, the poor monks broke Zen in the boundary mountain, and it happened that the two immortal nephews met for five years and just broke into the range of my broken Zen, what they said, the poor monks heard it, so the poor monks can prove that what the palace treasure fairy nephew said is true." ”

The cavity of the empty phase is equivalent to saving people from danger, and it is also a timely rain.

Xie Gongbao breathed a sigh of relief, and expected to have no doubts.

......

......

"The master has said so, so can we still not believe it. Senior brother in charge, since Zou Qi has walked through the Ten Thousand Bones Gu Cave, it can be regarded as being punished, and the little sister feels that there is no reason to punish him again, and I, Xuan Xianliu, can send envoys to the various factions to explain the punishment and interrogation, plus the testimony of the master of the empty phase and the nephew of the palace treasure, the little sister thinks that it can save face, and it is not favoritism. What's more, Zou Qi's mistakes are indeed excusable, and no one will be dissatisfied if the heavy punishment is too much. Ruan Mengying said.

Jiang Zaiqian also bowed his hand to Qiu Daoren, and said with a smile: "What Senior Sister said is right, Zou Qi has been upright and saving the danger for five years, and he has not forgotten the teachings of his master, and his merits can be worth it; besides, if Zou Qi hadn't insisted on saving the palace treasure immortal nephew, Senior Brother Bai would have died without a successor, and their senior brother's encounter like this can be called an adventure, and it will definitely become a beautiful talk for the ages in the future." - I, Jiang Zaiqian, am willing to protect him, and I hope that the senior brother in charge will be fair and prudent, and not too harsh. ”

Qiu Daoren thought about it with his hand and said, "Although the words are good, but good and evil do not coexist, good and evil do not stand together, and merit can be resisted." If the function is overdone, then kill one person and save another person in the future, wouldn't everyone be able to kill without scruples, and the world will not be a mess. ”

After listening to the empty phase, he was deeply touched: "The head of Qiu said this very good. ”

Yuan Mengying said in her heart: "What do you mean? If you don't borrow a donkey from the slope, do you have to put Zou Qi to death?" - when she thought about it, she said: "The difference between good and evil depends on the hearts of people, as long as you are virtuous, kill an evil person and save a good person, why not." The senior brother in charge of the law is harsh, and the little sister is really puzzled. ”

Qiu Daoren slowly stood up from his chair and said:

"Senior sister, enforcing the law and being punished is just a method of correcting mistakes, the purpose is to let the wrongdoer remember the mistakes he made, so as not to repeat the mistakes in the future. As for the lax law enforcement and the severity of the punishment, it varies from person to person, as the so-called strict teacher produces a high apprentice, and the brother has high expectations for Zou Qi, so he naturally needs to be punished heavily. - Zou Qi, since you have already been punished in the Ten Thousand Bones Gu Cave, the death penalty can be spared, but the teacher still wants to beat you with a hundred rods and punish you for a year, can you accept the sentence?"

Zou Qitong knelt down: "The disciple accepts the sentence and is willing to accept the punishment." ”

Qiu Daoren called Yi Yun into the door and ordered: "Take Zou Qi out to fight a hundred, and then go to the temple to face the wall and think about it." ”

"The disciple obeyed. Yi Yun picked up Zou Qi and took the order.

......

......

When Zou Qi left the hall, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Everyone focused on Aki Michiren's body.

In fact, Zou Qi is just a side dish before the meal, and Xie Gongbao has a big meal today.

Wang Zhongshu painstakingly planned and arranged for Xie Gongbao to rescue Zou Qi, which not only gave Qiu Daoren a strong excuse to exempt Zou Qi from the death penalty, but also gave Xie Gongbao the opportunity to be punished on behalf of the teacher. Therefore, this feast must be delicious, and you have to eat whatever you say. - Usually he only cares about buying drunk and practicing, being at ease, and ignoring mundane things, only because of Bai Jiwen's friendship with his classmates, he has some motivation to go out of the mountain to manage things. ——It was also based on the love of the same family that he discussed privately with Ruan Mengying, Jiang Zaiqian, and Gu Cangyong, and he must do his best today to help Senior Brother Bai's soul return to the temple.

The empty phase was originally here for Zou Qi, but now when he encounters this incident, he wants to witness it in person.

As for Xie Gongbao, the purpose is clear, so naturally there is no need to say more.

The six people all looked at Aki Michiren with the same purpose.

And Qiu Daoren seemed to have the intention of ending, and smiled at the sky: "For the sake of the inferior disciples, the troublesome master is favored, and he traveled thousands of miles to testify, and the old Dao is both grateful and ashamed." However, it is also thanks to the mistake of the bad criminal, otherwise I don't know how long and what month I will have to wait to renew my old friendship with the master. Since the master is here, please be sure to stay for a few more days, so that the old Taoist and the younger brothers and sisters can fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

Empty phase salute, smiled and replied: "The hospitality of the head of Qiu, the poor monk has understood, the period of yin and yang reincarnation is approaching, the safety of the temple is particularly important, the poor monk does not dare to be idle, just wait for this matter, the poor monk and the palace treasure immortal master said a few words, and they will rush back to protect the temple." ”

Qiu Daoren's smile did not change, and he hugged his fists and said: "Since this is the case, then the old way will not be forced to stay." ”

Then he looked at Xie Gongbao, squinted his eyes and smiled softly: "If the immortal nephew is fine, you can go down the mountain with the master." ”

This seems to be polite, but in fact, it is an expulsion order for Xie Gongbao.

He called Xie Gong Baoxian nephew, but not his nephew, and he also had the meaning of alienation.
