Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Shen Tianhe and Meng Feiyan led the disciples of Muni Hall to march towards the main hall. Before the ordinary serious injury healed, he was carried by two Taoist children and slowly followed behind everyone. Although there were many people at this time, no one spoke. Even Lu Qingdu, who loves to laugh the most, silently walked with the crowd. The sky was overcast and inexplicably a little depressing.

Everyone traveled all the way, passing through the Tongtian Bridge, the Heart Mirror Terrace, and the Green Bamboo Forest...... Everywhere he went, he left his footprints. Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they walked very slowly, so slow that it was ordinary enough to engrave the scenery along the way in their hearts. Gradually, Muni Hall became farther and farther away from him, from the original low tiled house, to become smaller and smaller, until it disappeared completely. Entering the hall, all the inner sect masters and disciples had gathered, quietly waiting for the arrival of Shen Tianhe and his party. Ping Fan only glanced at the hall, and couldn't help but feel a sour in his heart: what he saw today was no different from the scene when he first came. Just a few years ago, he was just an ignorant country boy, and now he is a disciple of a big sect who is burdened with shocking secrets and may lose his life at any time.

Two Taoist boys stepped forward and gently lowered the sedan chair. The two of them saluted the elders and walked out of the hall. Ordinary people didn't wait for the orders of the innocent real person, held the back of the chair, and slowly knelt down.

Qingxu Zhenren looked at the ordinary and asked, "Senior Nephew Ping, have you thought about it? Where did this Chixiao come from? Where is that Jade Zhenzi Dao Chief?" Pingfan shook his head and said, "I won't say it." Even if they kill me, I won't say anything. ”

Qingxu Zhenren frowned and asked, "What benefits did that old Taoist give you, you actually gave up your surname and didn't want to protect him?" The teacher is a real person, and he treats me like a mountain, and he is very kind, and the old way is always forgotten. Pingfan said: "Yes, Master Qingxu is the master, but he still doesn't dare to forget the master's kindness, and be the ungrateful person who deceives the teacher and destroys the ancestors." Although the disciple is not ......" said, his eyes swept over Shen Tianhe and Meng Feiyan, and continued: "But if the teacher is in trouble, even if the disciple fights for his life, he will never allow anyone to hurt them at all." Qing Xuan Zhenren sneered and said, "You are extremely filial. Nephew Ping, are you trying to delay time by talking so much......?

"Shut up!"

Before Qingxuan Zhenren finished speaking, he heard Qingxuan Zhenren shouting: "Senior Brother Qingxuan, you shut your mouth for me! Listen to him carefully, I want to see what he has to say." Qingxuan Zhenren was taken aback by him, and his face turned red for a while. After a while, he said sneeringly: "Senior brother, I look at him......" Qingxu Zhenren waved his hand, and Qingxuan Zhenren was immediately silent.

I only heard Pingfan say: "Uncle Zhang, two years ago, the disciple had an occasional encounter and worshipped Yu Zhenzi's predecessor as a teacher. He not only passed on my skills, but also passed on this Chixiao to me. Although others had never seen this incident, the disciple had always remembered it in his heart and never dared to forget it. Uncle Shi just asked me why I was willing to give up my surname to protect him, and this is my reason. Although the disciple is stupid, he also knows the truth of 'once he is a teacher, he will be a father for life'. Whatever you may say about him, I only know that he is gracious to me, and I will never betray him. Uncle Zhang, you have tempted me with the power of a true disciple and want me to betray my teacher, but you have taken me too seriously. As soon as the words fell, everyone nodded. Qingxu Zhenren's face turned red, he laughed dryly, and said, "Okay, you are justified in this matter." In that case, then it is avoided"

At this moment, I only heard Qing Xuan Zhenren shouting: "Senior Brother Zhang, have you forgotten how several masters died? If you connive at and cover up, Qing Xuan would rather have his surname than his life, and he will never dare to obey him!" When the disciples of the Bodhi Academy saw the master kneeling, they hurriedly knelt down and shouted, "The master is unfair, and the disciple would rather die than obey!"

Qingxu Zhenren's face sank, glanced at him, nodded, and said, "What the junior brother said is very reasonable. If it is in the opinion of the junior and disciple, what should be done?"

When Qing Xuan Zhenren heard this, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and secretly thought: "You old ghost is really hateful! You obviously have selfish intentions and want to sell him, but you test me with this method." Besides, in the presence of so many people, can I really kill this kid? Thinking of this, he acted as a difficult demeanor, and said for a while: "If according to the opinion of the junior brother, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, it is better to punish according to the rules of this sect, and everyone is naturally convinced." ”

Hearing this, Qingxu Zhenren nodded, and said: "Okay, since this is the case, then it will be handled like this: ordinary people rely on the spells of other sects, indiscriminately injure the same sect, and even damage a number of magic weapons of this sect." The above articles are already big violations of the door rules. According to the decision of this seat, the punishment for him is as follows: Master Ping's nephew worships the enemy of his own sect as a teacher without authorization, and harms his fellow disciples with evil magic, and thinks that he has no intention of doing evil, and shall be punished with eighty lashes. Master Ping, are you convinced?" Pingfan nodded and replied, "The disciple is convinced." ”

Qingxu Zhenren said again: "Senior Brother Tianhe, non-Yan Senior Sister listener." Shen Tianhe and Meng Feiyan stepped forward side by side and knelt down together. Qingxu Zhenren said: "Tianhe, Feiyan, as a master, even if you are the first and have a lot of affairs, you should not be lazy and have less restraint on your disciples. Now that Master Ping's nephew has done such a wrong thing, the two of you will not be able to escape responsibility. Now, for the crime of lax restraint, I will punish each of you with a heavy penalty of 30 and enter the meditation hall to copy the scriptures for one month. Are you convinced?" Shen Tianhe and Meng Feiyan glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "Senior brother (junior sister) is convinced." ”

Qingxu Zhenren turned around and asked, "Senior brothers, can the punishment of this seat be fair?" Everyone responded in unison: "Senior brother is merciful, the law is strict, and this matter should be handled in this way." Shen Tianhe, Meng Feiyan was silent.

When the ordinary person heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, and secretly thought: "Obviously, I made a mistake alone, but I was punished by the master and the master, how can I have a good conscience? A manly man, who does everything in his own right, how can he affect others? At most, I will only receive a few more whips, can I really not stand it?" Because he said: "Master and uncle, the disciple is willing to receive sixty lashes on behalf of the master and his wife." ”

Qingxu Zhenren nodded and said, "Okay, Master Ping's nephew's filial piety is commendable, which is very admirable. In this case, I will spare you thirty and give you a hundred lashes. Disciples of the torture hall, take the golden dragon whip and wait. ”

The four disciples in charge of punishment came out with the order, and soon returned to the main hall, each holding a long golden whip in their hands. The whip is about two zhang long, and the whip body is full of aura, and the whip body is how, but I can't see it clearly in a trance. The four people stepped forward, bowed to the Qingxu Zhenren, and then each waved their long whips and whipped them down at the ordinary body. Ordinary was whipped, and when he landed, his eyes were dark, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. When the second whip fell, it was already fainting in pain.

After being beaten with more than 20 whips, Shen Tianhe suddenly thought: "This golden dragon whip is extraordinary, that is, he is in good health, but I am afraid that he will only be in his early fifties, if it is a hundred whips, won't he even have a surname?"

When the innocent real person took a look, he saw that the ordinary had more qi and less qi, and he had already fainted. So he turned his head sideways to Shen Tianhe: "Senior brother, if you want to stop here, it's not impossible, there is indeed a way to do it in this seat." Shen Tianhe hurriedly asked, "What method?"

Qingxu Zhenren said slowly: "That is to abolish his cultivation and expel him from the sect from now on." But then......" he said, shaking his head and sighing softly.

Shen Tianhe hurriedly said: "Senior brother, although Seventeen is at fault, he is kind-hearted, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is not an extremely vicious person. If he is expelled from his own sect, I am afraid that in the near future, all the people in the world will know about it, and who will be willing to take him in such an outcast? Not to mention that if his cultivation is abolished, won't even his pure heart for the Tao be wiped out?"

I only heard the Qingxu real person say: "What the junior brother said is extremely true. However, there are more than 10 million sects in the world, where can there be no tolerance? Senior Brother Tianhe, this seat punished him for breaking the door and leaving the sect, not because he had malicious intentions towards him, but also cut off his thoughts of the Tao. There are thousands of famous families in the world. If he is truly devoted to the Tao, he can also resume his practice after leaving his own school. Even if he is not allowed to be in the Daomen, he can still devote himself to the Buddhism, make a grand vow, purify the body and mind, and generally live on the righteous path. Later, his words were kind and earnest, and he was very earnest in admonishing. In the voice of the pure void real person, the disciples of the torture hall counted the number from "one five, one ten".

When Ping Fan heard this, his tears could no longer be stopped, and they flowed down in a flutter. He naturally knew that as long as Shen Tianhe answered yes, he would never be a disciple of the Shangqing Palace again, and he would never see Shen Qingli's face again. No, it's not just Shen Qingli? The masters and sisters who were present, all the senior brothers, how can they see each other in the future? When he remembered the past, one by one flowed through his mind, he opened his mouth several times, wanting to ask Shen Tianhe not to agree, but every time he opened his mouth, a large stream of blood gushed out, where could he still speak? When he heard Shen Tianhe's answer, it was as if there was a thunderbolt in front of him, and he couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes rolled, and he fainted.

I don't know how long it took, but Ping Fan suddenly felt an extremely abundant true qi pouring into his body, colliding with his own true qi, and woke up immediately. Ordinary opened his eyes and smiled, and was about to say thank you, when suddenly he felt that eight powerful and incomparable true qi collided in his body. Wherever the true qi went, the tendons and veins were as if they had been slashed by a knife, and they were torn apart in pain. Ordinary people opened their mouths and exhaled, but they felt as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in their throats, and they couldn't make any sound. Gradually, the muscles and veins in the body became more and more painful, and suddenly there was a sweetness in the mouth, and a large mouthful of black blood rushed out of the throat, splashing on the ground like a fountain. Immediately after that, as soon as his body became weak, his body hung down as if he had no bones, and there was not even a trace of strength in his body. What followed was a long smile of Qingxuan Zhenren's smug "Haha, haha!"

Ordinary people listened to the laughter, and suddenly understood everything: it turned out that Qing Xuan Zhenren injected true qi into his body, not to help him heal his wounds, but to use his own mana to forcibly burst all the eight veins of his own Qi Sutra. The eight veins were broken, and the inner breath of the dantian suddenly dissipated, and since then it has become a complete waste.

Pingfan was angry with himself, but he heard Qing Xuanzhen shouting: "Little thief, from now on, you will never use the spell of the Shangqing Palace again, do you know?" Qing Xuan Zhenren's face changed, and he was about to say some mean words, but a black-clothed disciple suddenly broke in outside the hall and whispered a few words in his ear.

Qingxuan Zhenren listened to the report, and he couldn't care about ordinary life or death anymore, so he turned around and ran towards the outside of the hall. I didn't know how to do it, but I was stopped by a real person. I only heard Qingxuan Zhenren say: "Senior Brother Qingxuan, aren't you doing enough evil? Do you think that I really don't know anything about privately refining and building Jidan? Do you want to secretly cultivate power to compete with me, Senior Brother, you are old and confused, don't you know anything?"

Qingxu Zhenren waved his hand and said, "You get up." Alas, our teacher has been like brothers and sisters for hundreds of years, but I didn't expect it to be said that I was born to this point! Senior Brother Qingxuan, if you are safe, if you make some trouble, don't blame me for being a senior brother who is not emotional!"

Qingxuan Zhenren Nuo Nuo said busily: "Yes, yes, junior brother knows his mistake! I won't dare to do it again!" Qingxuan Zhenren glanced at him, suddenly shook his head, waved his sleeves, and said, "Scatter Hui!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The remnant sun is like blood.

Shangqing Mountain, the foot of the mountain.

The masters and apprentices of Muni Hall, except for Shen Qingli, all gathered here. Lu Qingdu gasped a few times and gently put the ordinary off his back. Lu Qingdu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to tell a joke, but suddenly his eyes turned red and his voice became hoarse. Meng Feiyan took off the burden, Chixiao, put it in Lu Qingdu's hand, and instructed: "Sixth, when you send seventeen to the front town, you will come back, do you know?"

Lu Qingdu nodded and hissed, "Yes, Master." ”

Shen Tianhe turned his head sideways and stared at the ordinary quietly. After a long time, Shen Tianhe's eyes turned red, and he sighed: "Child, there are many geniuses and abilities in the world, if you want to practice, you can travel all over the world in order to advance backwards, but you must not forget, no matter how you treat others, you must have a heart of kindness and benevolence, and you must not act in vain, have you heard?"

Hearing this, Ping Fan nodded, and suddenly stretched out his arms, hugged Shen Tianhe, and cried: "Daddy, Daddy!" Shen Tianhe held him in his arms and stroked the top of his head hard. After a while, he suddenly pushed him away and said, "Seventeen, you have to be a good person in the future, do you know?"

Lu Qingdu took the ordinary and broke up when he arrived in the town. When he left, he helped with a lot of food and toys, just like when he first started. Ping Fan lost his mother when he was a child, and his father died suddenly at the age of eleven, and he has been living alone since he was a child. Since entering the mountain gate, deep in his heart, he has long regarded his master as his father, his mother as his mother, and all his senior brothers as brothers to make up for this defect, but he doesn't know it. When he was separated from everyone, the pain in his heart was like a flood bursting the embankment, and it was difficult to suppress it, and it turned out that he was a wild child without parents after all. Thinking of this, I couldn't suppress the sadness in my heart anymore, and I cried out whimpering on the mountain road.

After crying for a while, Ping Fan held back his tears, grappled Chixiao, and walked towards the town like a crutch. His whole body was weak, so he could only hold his long sword and move forward slowly. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled blood on his body added a bit of desolation. Pingfan knew that every step he took was one step away from the Shangqing Palace. From now on, he will be the same as before, an orphan without a father or mother, and no one will take pity on him.

But how did he know that this catastrophe was just a small episode on his path to cultivation. From now on, it will be regarded as a real sea and sky, and you will be free.

Exactly: break through the iron cage to get rid of the tiger and leopard, break free from the golden lock and walk the dragon.

(Volume I, end.) ）

(PS: To be honest, the end of the first volume was a bit rushed, and this chapter was written with extra difficulty.) From yesterday to today, I have changed the draft several times before finally deciding on such an ending. By the time the first volume ended, my scratch paper had already been blurred with tears. The text of this chapter is 4600+, but the level is limited, and I think it is far from enough. The protagonist I write about is ordinary, but beside him, there is a group of respectable, lovely, contemptible and shameful, or pathetic and pitiful teachers and friends, who have grown up with him all the way. It's like when we were in elementary school, we were carefree, we didn't know what our troubles were, and we were arguing and arguing over some trivial things, and we were happy and sad. When I grow up, all the troubles and hardships have just begun. I have already said that this is the first great tribulation in an ordinary life, and he is still 108,000 miles away from achieving the right result. In addition, the heroine has actually come out, have you guessed it? Tonight, at the latest tomorrow at the latest, the second volume will be updated: the elixir is collected on Tianzhu Peak, and Yunmengze trains strange soldiers. )
